I have seen a number of tvs posted here after re-capping, and they still have problems. Some are traced to the caps, and some resistors I guess they went back and checked again..... I'm always in favor of fixing it first, restoring it second. If you fix it, it works, then you replace caps as you want, then if there was always some anomaly you were trying to fix by replacing caps, but it's still there, then maybe it's a resistor, or coil.... If you introduce an anomaly then it must be in your new part, or you may have put it back wrong.... But if you don't know if it works right, and just begin replacing caps, then when you fire it up, where are you going to look if it don't work right.... You actually have doubled the number of items that can be wrong....

With electrolytic caps being the most prone to cause loud explosions, those are really the only ones you need to change if you want to before a test fire up....

Really old resistors may not have been very stable to begin with.... Heat may have effected them over time even more than capacitors. I have seen here that people who really carefully go through their sets end up with something that looks quite nice, so you may end up changing a bunch of resistors too....

Just imagine would you know it if every part in your tv was 20% off....?

I don't know if we would.....
