Gee..... replacing ALL the caps in the power supply is a heck of a lot
cheaper than buying an ESR meter. Look at some of the on-line electronics
suppliers like MCM, Dalbani, MAT Electronics, etc...... cap kits for most
VCRs can be had for $10 to $15...... and be certain to check the diodes and
transistors again for shorts.

Thanks for the reply. I'm either gonna fix it myself or chuck it in
the trash. I only use it so I can get the higher channels (and inputs
for xbox) on my old crappy TV. I really like the feeling when I can fix
something myself, I might have to look into an ESR meter. Thanks again.
