I just feel so horrible about the TV sitting outside... I hadn't been around the site for awhile, but now that I'm back I'm fired up about trying my damndest to get this thing displaying a picture, even if it IS only for a few seconds.
One thing i noticed is that the black connector on the CRT seems to be a bit loose on the glass.. would it be advisable to spray WD40 on the pins and use a plastic tool to gently pry the cable away from it? What I want to do is disconnect the chassis from tuner, CRT, and put it on a bench; then on Thursday when the paycheck arrives I'll get a decent soldering station. It's just the capacitor values that'll give me a bit of trouble, i'll be honest i've never undertaken a project like this before but i'm willing to try.
i take it most of them would be orange drops? what else would i need?
