PS - My 512Ke's screen has started to not turn on upon bootup. My last
solution was to hit the side of the case to get the picture to come back.
My analogue board's caps are going? Picture tube failing?

Probably a dry joint, the 'engineers thump' working is normally a good
indication of that.

I agree. Most likely pin one of the connector for the analog to logic board cable has a bad joint. I mean the connector on the analog board. There's another connector on the logic board end, but it doesn't usually go bad. I've seen this lots of times. The hitting the side of the case is a key clue.

Resolder that joint and it should be fixed.
