First, as I go about ordering the electrolytic caps, I noticed that a few of the value's I need for this set are out of stock. I can order the same value of the next available higher voltage rating, or exceed the value without having to go up and thus save a bit on price. I've read that it's safe to exceed the capacitance value in radios, so is that still fair game in a television set like this?
Also, where do I find a power cord? Simple issue; replace cord. But, I really, seriously, have no idea where to get one for my television. It's a simple brown cord, non-polarized blades, and the end that goes to the set has a plastic piece with two female ends ( like what some call a figure-8 ) and it has tabs with holes as if to use screws or rivets on either side. My cord wasn't screwed or revetted, but simply flopping around in an interlock. Don't like it.
It's stuck in there, so I guess I'll have to drill the rivets that hold the interlock together to the back cover, but I still don't know where to find a proper cord. I've tried searching for it online, but I don't know what I'm looking for? Not too keen on power cords...
