Ah, I remember that convertible-top chassis. When I first got the VA62A it had a bad ripple, which I fixed by replacing a couple of p-s electrolytics.
That is one heckuva twitchy adjuster, or else there's something else going on that makes this oscillator circuit unstable. After much careful tweaking with my longest diddle stick, I was able to get the rolling to snap into regular color bars. When I put the case back on, colors went back to rolling.
The ripple has also begun to resurface. I have gotten a good in-circuit cap checker since I bought this thing. While it's on the workbench, I may as well check the other electrolytics and see what else has gone bad in the last few years.
