Made lots of money replacing caps in those old GE sets. I always close replacements with a much higher voltage rating, and I can't remember ever seeing one come back across my bench again with the same problem. Seems like there was a total of 3 capacitors I usually replaced....I can't remember now.....but I remember charging $60 for a portable and $100 for a console to do it

While I wasn't necessarily a big fan of GE's in the early 1980's, they were actually a pretty dependable TV, and they made a lot of profit for the repair shops.
