"Dave"

Thank you Ken, and Phil. I had no idea. Definitely want one of those.
Much appreciated.

So anyway, if my voltages look good and there's no serious ripple
anywhere, I'm thinking more and more about the electro caps, but really
don't fancy pulling each and every one out to test without having some
sort of strategy as to which to test first. Any ideas on that? Larger
ones first? What would you guys do? I truly do appreciate the help and
ideas.


** OK - the " old school " way of doing this tedious task was to briefly
parallel any suspect electo with a similar value and voltage cap while the
set is operating.

And see WTF happens.

TV service was never a game for the faint hearted..............
