Looking for help here. The picture fluttered for several days from being
fine to a horizontal line accross the center of the screen. A full picture
would generally be restored upon turning the set off for a while. From my
reading the first thing I should do is replace the capacitors on the
vertical board, but frankly, I can't really read the darn things and have
no way of translating what the heck items such as "C509" are on the
internal sheet. Can someone out there provide a cross reference for me?
(And any advice is greatly appreciated, I tinker in electronics - I am not
a professional).

I would normally take the set into a shop and let them do it, but because
of finances this set has sat on the floor collecting dust for a year - the
family needs the $ more than I need to watch a TV, but I would like to
make it work rather than throw it out.

Respectfully,
-Bruce
