I replaced the burnt out one with a .47uF at 400v film capacitor and it seems to be doing fine. I also figured out the brightness knob making the picture darker was due to the ion trap moving slightly between me moving the television upright and on its side. The picture doesn't actually look half bad now in darkness.
