After replacing the electrolytics and HV caps, I decided to try a power up.
It also gave me a chance to try out my newly acquired Sencore PR57.

All it took was a little tweaking to get a stable image.


That encouraged me to complete the recapping. The "mighty midget" cap took a little more work.

I carefully unknurled one end, slid out the metal cap, cut it in half and stuck a new cap inside.


Finally, here it is completely recapped.


It works fairly well, but I can't tune both good sound and video. I figure an alignment will help with that.
