put finger to keyboard and composed:

The model number is Panasonic BT-S1300N. If anyone has any service
info and could give some hints I'd be very grateful.

I'm not familiar with your monitor, but in general you would locate
the 4-wire cable that connects to the deflection yoke around the
picture tube. The two thinnest wires would connect to a vertical
amplifier IC on the PCB. Since yours is a Panasonic monitor, I would
expect that this IC would be made by Matsu****a and would have a part
number beginning with AN. These ICs are often in a SIP package and are
attached to a heatsink. Some designs use a pair of discrete
transistors, also mounted on heatsinks. I'd replace all the
electrolytic capacitors in the vicinity of this IC, and I'd also
reflow its solder joints.
