Good to hear it in lay terms, I still have a lot to learn. I guess it's no good to cherry-pick them from junk boards, I never really know what I'm getting.
There aren't that many carbon comps in this set, they number into the low 30s at most. Most are on the convergence board, geometry board, video output board and in the HV stage. The resistor complement of the main chassis boards is mostly carbon film. I've seen advice to replace 1/2 watt composition resistors with 1-watt metal oxide, but that's probably only good for tube devices. This is an early SS set; I was told not to exceed rated wattages in those because they can act as fuses to protect more critical components.
