Hi. I have a b/w monitor that has a rolling wave than travels from the
bottom to the top after it has been turned on for a few minutes. Thanks.

If it's running at an NTSC scan rate and the wave has a period of about
15 seconds, it's probably a bad power supply filter capacitor or 60 Hz
getting into the video.

This is usually from bad caps in the power supply. After servicing, it
should be okay.
