This is the last 2 issues with my PC-10

1. getting an audio hum from speakers, when I turn up the volume the hum turns up with it everything in the cab looks well grounded (Green tape leading to every device ending at bottom of the cab)
Is this a bad wireing problem?
is this in need of new caps?

2.when I start the unit up the bottom screen seems to have a v-hold problem or at least that's what it reminded me of as a kid when watching a crt tv. I have toggled every color and screen button with no results
what dose yield results is unplugging and then replugging the visual leads problem solved till you want to switch games then its back to the unplug replug routine
after a half hour of being on the issue resolves itself until turned off for a period of time
is this bad wireing problem?
is this in need of new caps?

thanks again to responders

What kind of monitor? Sanyo 20EZ? If so, I'd start by capping the audio amplifier that is on the monitor. Bob Roberts sells a kit for this cheap.
