In a turn of events, I will be replacing all the lytics in the power supply. Some of the 80 micro farad are pretty excessive. Ill be cutting off the cans and restuffing them. The reason the circuit breaker was popping is because it is apparently bad. When I wiggle it I can watch the resistance go from to 250 down to about 8ohms.

Just not worth the chance that I may stress the flyback more than it looks already by running a worn out power supply.

This tv should be fun! Haven't even got to power it up yet to see how many gremlins it has and it already under the gun..

I lifted the chassis out tonight and brought it upstairs to my workbench to start the process but too dang worn out from Taekwondo with the kiddos so I'll be ordering caps tomorrow and cutting the ol cans right off to prep.
