I recapped the Commodore monitor while I had it open as well - almost all 25V and 160V caps were high ESR....
The first one I repaired, was probably three years ago. I'd leave it run continuously and when I went to use it, the sound was there, but the picture was froze up, plus no response from the remote or the top buttons.
I knew, it had to be a bad 'lytic.
