Did that, plus I recapped the TV yesterday. While recapping I found both 4.7uf caps had leaked. The one in the HOT circuit leaked so bad, one of the legs had disintegrated. I'm 99.9% sure THIS bad cap was the reason the HOT kept blowing!!
After the recap. Unfortunately as it turns out a few of these are actually bipolar, so I couldn't replace them as I didn't order any bipolar caps. Should I be worried about them?
They're marked "BP" in the image
I also got the mica insulators today but I still don't really have proper hardware for a bulb tester. Is it necessary?
