A few ideas.
1) the yellow cap I remember now. I think they burned due to cold solder
joint. Change it anyways IF you can find an original. When they burned
you often had to cut away a lot of PCB
2)smear. I saw a little retrace. Check 200V for video outs.
Open 'lytic causes that & usually shading ( darker on L of screen )
excessive brightness, retrace. Common on ALL solid state sets.
A $$ maker.........
3) SAW filter may be bad. On regular pix looks like fine tuning is off.
Hard to describe but its like porn, I know it when I see it.
4) back to backing. Works good BUT its the only thing that almost killed me.
Did it with a pair of tin-can Zeniths. Leaned on both of them &
next thing I knew I was on the floor shaking, sweating bullets &
had atrial fribulations. Like any experienced TV man I got a case of Bud
& quickly recovered. NEVER did that again !

Keep us posted
