put finger to keyboard and composed:

Got this set in the other day, model CS-28EX1C. This is a 26" set from
'93. It came in dead, and once I got it going (replaced the STR regulator)
it was apparent there were other problems. There was some raster shrinkage
at the top, and the whole picture - though very clear - has wavy edges -
frills, I guess - on bright objects such as letters. Kind of like looking at
your reflection on a ripply pond. As I started checking caps in the vertical
output, it also became apparent that the set would not be an easy fix. Seems
this is one of those infamous Mitsubishi's with the caps that leak not only
internally, but physically as well. I replaced a bunch of these in the
vertical output, that fixed the shrunk picture but that was it. It appears
that almost EVERY SINGLE CAP IN THE SET has started to physically leak or at
least gone up in ESR.

That's sad. I have a 20 year old Mitsubishi set that has never failed,
and still has an excellent picture. What have Mitsubishi changed in
their later models? What brand of caps are they using in your set?
