In some Panasonic sets, those capacitors can drift in value as the set warms up and trigger the HV shutdown circuit.

What is the minimum safe voltage I can use here? I found a 560 picofarad @ 500 volts, but I fear this is too low.

Success
I installed a 560pf 500-volt capacitor today to test, and the whole set sprang to glorious life. Picture, sound, everything! I ran it for about ten minutes. The picture flickers a bit, but I assume this is due to the low value cap. I will order the proper 2KV cap, button everything back up, and use it for awhile before selling it. Thanks again for your help, guys!!

I hope you can sell it. Around here, I'd be stuck with it from now on (that's why I've pretty much stopped picking up TV's for the purpose of reselling them).

If it doesn't sell for $40 I'll relist it for $5 less until it goes. I would love to keep this set, but it is simply massive and I don't have the room, or a practical place to use it. I'm hoping it will go to a gamer; they're my primary market. I sell a lot of CRTs to them because they don't have the video lag that modern LCDs do, thus making it easier to play games where split-second decisions can be the difference between winning and losing in a tournament.

In my area, the main ones buying them are people wanting them for their children's room. Even at that, they must be later models and have A/V jacks. Right now, I have a 20" Sony from 2002 listed for sale for $20 and haven't gotten one bit of interest.

Don't run it for long, that's a 2kv rated cap.

At the end we still could sell these sets to collage kids & folks
with camps. Nobody would steal them. The MGA 36 consoles could even double as a table. Had one up in the Connecticut Lakes. They took almost everything but didnt even try to move it. A 40" flat would have been first out the door. 73 Zeno Quote:

The 36" Mitsu is now running with the proper 2kv cap in place, and it seems happy. It's all clean with a remote and listed for $40. We'll see what happens!
