I live near knoxville, so it is very unlikely anyone around here would know much about something like this. Very few people around here mess with electronics. In this area I'm the "electronics guy" so I'm mostly on my own.
As for recapping, I shotgunned the thing. The only original caps left are the big metal multicaps. Parts still need to be ordered, but I forgot about it due to having a million projects.
I did not do the screwdiver test, but instead used a grounded multimeter to get a precise reading. On the top of the tube, the cap archs and reads really high. Enough to max out the meter. The plunger that attatches to the tube only reads around 20v, so that is certainly a problem.. Guess the tube is the issue, but it worked before to an extent.
Also I do not have any schematics for this tv, but have been looking for something I don't have to pay a ton for. I have to admit, this isn't the best hobby for a collage student.. It sure can be fun though.
