Are the large electrolytic capacitors really that expensive?
I mean one filter capacitor 160MFD(uF) 250 volts at mouser or digikey is around 22 dollars?
I think since the set powers up, Im gonna replace the bad tubes first, and see how the picture tube is, if its OK I will start to replace the big caps and the other ones, I just won't run the set long or worry about picture problems until they are replaced. I don't have a CRT or tube tester.
There are many plastic coated paper caps underneath the chassis, I have the schematic but I guess it takes considerable time to cross reference all of them? What kind of time you guys spending doing that?
