You virtually have to have a ESR type capacitor tester for this set. Look around the small (1 uf up to 4.7 uf) caps for liquid leaking out on the PC board. These sets were very good performers when working. The PIP modules almost always have a dozen or so dead capacitors in them. Also, look around the front of the power supply board for larger leaking capacitors. Look under the vertical IC for bad solder connections. Also, vertical fold over is going to be bad capacitors around the vertical IC. There were a lot of these sets here until Katrina got them

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm afraid I'm not familiar with the term PIP modules?
