I changed only the filters that needed to be changed. However, my NOS supply was from 1980!!! Perhaps one of my 24 year old capacitors is now defective. In zenith, a very common value is 80uF@450volt. Thats what I put in there, 2 of them if I remember correctly.
If the degausing thermistor was a problem, you would also see purple and green colors in the waving (as the magnet is not turning off, its always on)
From your description, the caps are bad. You can buy caps from mouser.com they are around $6 a peice. Not too many stores carry caps up in the 450 volt range. most dont stock anything after 100volt. Before you buy caps, bridge over the ones I put in one at a time with a similar value cap and see if the problem goes away. If so, thats the bad cap.
