I bit the bullet tonight and dissasembled the CRT housing so I can service the 2nd video amp. It's been partially recapped, but I can see an original electolytic in there.
It actually was a lot easier because of a great tip posted recently (sorry can't remember the author). Instead of fighting to undo the stiff spring on the decorative gold band, leave it attached and slide the band over the plastic housing.
That needs a good cleaning
So does the inside of the rear cover.
There's an odd, faint "starburst" pattern on the CRT face
Finally, I can get at that little circuit.
Looks like the CRT was replaced in 1965 in LA.
