Hey gang - restoring a Macintosh 512k. Recapped most of the caps. I should have just bought a kit to do it right. But anyhow, the fat Mac has been working well until a few minutes ago.

Playing lode runner and the screen flickered a few times. I shook the case but it didn’t make the screen flicker any different - moving the case had no effect on the flicker. So I’m gathering it’s failing component related and not a loose connection.

After the flicker stopped for a while, suddenly the screen stretched and did this. Can someone point me to what capacitor is responsible for this? Thanks a bunch!
