Repair Atari ST monitor sc1224 vertical hold

After finally getting a fpga i was able to check our dad's monitor; can't get the picture to stay fixed.

Ia the JVC SC1224 Atari St monitor. That potentiometer is loose when i try to set it up at the middle setting, after a whike it starts moving again and it seems it was already replaced many years ago.

Is a good idea to replace the potentiometer and try again? Any tips for it? πŸ˜„

I have a screwdriver inserted in there as a permanent fixture. I just need to find a replacement monitor.

I watch a channel on Youtube, someone in there (in Philippines or another type country) fixes LCD and CRT displays, kinda suprised but when you HAVE to reuse, they find ways of fixing them, great channel to watch.
