Yeah.... This IS gonna become a recap project. Likely a very minor one.

I also just realized I had posted this '60s TRANSISTERIZED set....in the old tubes section. When (if) I decide to chase down all the little caps in this set (there's ALOT, but they are on only two REAL easy to remove modules). I'm surprised how accessable this compact little set is. I have no SAMs for it yet, but it's just a board on top (Sweep)...and a board on bottom (IF/audio), and they both "swing out". Document on a couple Post-Its what color wires go where, and you can unplug like ten little wires and take the two modules out.

Hardest part about THIS recap would be chasing down all the little electrolytics. A couple look real suspicious, but not the way you might be thinking. There are some REAL bright blue caps in this thing that look new....and very obvious if you have seen "early Sony sloppiness"...that the solder is newer where these blue caps are.

Decent crosshatch, but there are still scanlines mostly across the top. This is the "fixed itself" version of this screen. BEFORE it was really obviously folded over at the top...and some scanlines were screaming across the top third of the picture. Now just very light scanlines, and VERY minor linearity issues. I notice neither of these during watching TV. Just during static stuff like crosshatches.

Just noticed the picture shows the scanlines ALOT more than I see them IRL
