David, thanks for the report on the Kapture Group cable. I can see how that might be a problem.
Carsten, thank you! That would be very much appreciated. My fingers are crossed that there will be electrical diagrams with the repair manual.
Stuart, Carsten is correct. Think of the curtains that part when you're watching a play. Instead of the split being in the middle of the stage, the split is pulled all the way to the left side of the stage. Then one curtain is walked across the stage, exposing the actors in the play. At some point in time, the other curtain is walked across the stage, again blocking the actors from view.
Assuming the curtains are being walked across the stage, let's say it takes 20 seconds to travel the distance. This would mean that any observation of the play shorter than 20 seconds would mean the second curtain would begin travelling
before the first curtain had arrived at the right side of the stage. At no point in time would the whole stage have been visible, but each portion of the stage would have been visible for the correct period of time. Once you ask to see the play for longer than 20 seconds, the entire stage is visible for at least a very short period of time.
In the 203FE's case, that travel time isn't 20 seconds, but ~1/90th of a second.
Hope that make sense...
They say a picture is worth a 1000 words, right?

I'm not sure what streaking issue you're referring to, so I can't be of much help there... Could it be a simple light leak?
Take care,
Brad
