I've replaced alot of the caps.. Comes to find out on my example up there, I ended up puting a cap in the wrong spot.. The Sams shows one being a ceramic cap, and actually in the set is a film cap, and that was throwing me off track.. So far I've replaced a total of 7 film caps, and the electrolytic on that board being 8, and I don't notice a significant change, both the vert height and HV adjustments are still maxed out.. The HV probe still shows a digit over 20 kv with the HV setting maxed out, not sure if that is fine or not... And the vert height still drifts ever so slightly after set has been on for a while, the bottom blackness rises up ever so slightly.. Found out the popping noise was coming from one of the convergence board wires being near the anode.. I moved it out from around that area and the popping went away.. I ended up cleaning the anode and the shunt tube and HV compartment with rubbing alcohol.. I haven't started on the electrolytic filter caps yet.. I wonder if I will notice a difference once those are replaced... This will be a bit of a project, and looks like I will need to take reference photos before I unmount each..
