ICs, capacitors, stuff like that?
The FS series was more low end, and was pretty reliable. Changed a bunch of CXA2154AS jungles, a few flybacks, and a 2.2 @250 somewhere in the power supply.

All you can do right now is to resolder the horiz driver transformer. These are known to develop circular cracks around the base.
