Re-cap time?
Thanks Ron. I'll always be doing my best to keep this one running.
I think it's time for new e-caps. It's been having intermittent video problems for a while and now the picture has gone all screwy, so I've swapped it out with a console a few years newer until I can fix it. I don't want to risk catastrophic failure of something harder to get my hands on.
There's at least one e-cap marked "bi-polar"; I know what this is but don't know why it's in this set. I have to check a couple others under the chassis but so far it seems the rest are polarized.
There are also three oddball caps I hadn't seen the likes of before. I've attached a photo.
I've attached a screenshot as well, in hopes someone will recognize the symptoms and confirm that the caps are going bad. It's full of el-cheapo e-caps, many marked "Singapore".
