TV Gremlins
I spent a couple hours on this last night, up till 3:00am actually and went to bed frustrated.
The set worked good after the initial recap but would tear and pull sideways occasionally, the last couple days it crapped out completely and the picture was a jittery mess.
I found a 100pf cap on the sync sep tube that responded to heat, I replaced it with a .001 mylar, it worked and the picture was rock solid but now it was split down the middle with two pictures side by side.
I fiddled for two hours replacing resistors and subbing caps to no avail.
This morning I turned it on again and it works perfectly, go figure.
I still think it has some bad Micas or whatever these square flat caps are, they are Micamolds so who knows but I'm going to replace them (one at a time of course so I don't get myself into more trouble)
