I ran the self test and all rams check out ok. If anyone has a suggestion for a repair it would be appreciated.

If the cursor is leaving a fading line then the problem is in the
monitor - reduce the brightness a bit and see what happens.
Of course the monitor should have a re-cap job done - the original
capacitors are just too old to be reliable. If it hasn't been recapped
in the past ten to twenty years then a re-cap is still advised.
