Well, I would like to thank you all for helping me out. The TV seems to be back up and running like normal. I'm going to run it for awhile tomorrow to make sure its good to go before I put it all back together. Anymore suggestions of things to do while it's apart?
Went over to Radio Shack this afternoon because I needed something and I found (online), that they supposedly carried the Lytic cap that I needed.(35v220uF) They actually did! and the guy knew what I was talking about!! Little expensive but no wait for shipping-So why not...
Anyway's I pulled it apart at my table in the basement, and proceeded to discharge the CRT. My dad was all pins and needles when I was doing this...
The CRT didn't even have a snap to it when I discharged it.
I vaccumed it all out, including the back casing. A lot of dust after about 14 years...
Pulled the board out a little way's and just looked it over. I Desolderd that cap, then put the new one in. Then I re-soldered the connections of that vert. chip, hooked it all back up, and volla
Got some photo's if anyone care's
Here's the underside of the board

Back of the Television on my table

and The Result!!!
Apparently the chip was fine... or slowley on its way out, without currently showing any issues...
Should I worry about getting another? Everything else seems to function as should and was plesently surprised that my custom settings were still in its memory for playing my PS3.
Thanks again for the help!
