Monitor takes a long time to warm up

I have an Eswat arcade with a Wells-Gardner 19K4616 monitor. The monitor takes a very long time to warm up. When 1st powered on the image is dark and blurry. After about an hour the picture is perfect. Any ideas why? I was thinking of a cap kit but I don't want to go through the trouble if it's something else.

A cap kit could help, but such a simphtom calls for a CRT on it's last legs. You could rejuvenate it with a tube rejuvenetor, but it's likely that you will definitely kill the CRT in the process.

K4600's are easy to cap. Cap it and find out. Just make sure you de-solder the two leads to the width coil before you yank it out of the frame. Or find a friend with tube rejuventor and test it. Make sure your kit includes a replacement C621 HV filter cap. Mouser part # is 5984-940C16P1K-F
