My Classic has been sitting under my desk for a few months, but the other day I set it up to do some writing on it.
When starting up, I noticed that there is a period of several seconds after the 'bong' in which the screen only displays diagonal lines – then there is a quiet click, then the happy Mac and normal boot. I also notice that the top edge of the picture doesn't seem to be perfectly horizontal. I don't know whether it did this before I put the machine into storage – can't remember!

Apart from this, there are no faults with the machine and it works perfectly. There are no strange smells or noises.
The logic board was recapped by Uniserver last year, but the analogue board has not been touched. A visual inspection revealed no obvious leaking caps (but I know that doesn't necessarily mean anything).
My question is ... is this normal, or is it a possible sign of analogue board trouble? Any views? I'm quite fond of this machine so would like to keep it in perfect order if possible.
