Color stripes on a b&w picture... check the color oscillator tube... 6GH8. It may be tired (they usually are). It's always good to have spare 6GH8 tubes on hand for color sets.

Weak/leaky caps could cause this as well... so yes, a recap might correct it.

The oscillator crystal under the chassis could be bad (cheap and easy to replace).

Even after replacing the above parts, you may still need to adjust the fine tuner to get a color lock.
