Just recapped my 1960 RCA. WOW, can't believe it. It played great for a year and all caps checked out in the power supply. Then one day it went blurry with a big hum bar. A 160 @ 200VDC went wide open. So at that point I checked all the power supply electro's and all I could find in the set. Changed every electrolytic. Came up with 5 critical caps bad. I checked with my ESR meter and found all caps that were bad. Including C5 in the video circuit, That really boosted up my contrast. I know power supply's are critical but after changing all the caps. I had to readjust the focus and grey scale. I know the HV is up as it warms up much quicker. Just a quick screen shot as my camera battery died.
