I did some tweaking to the IF and I was able to get the picture to look a lot better with much clearer text, but after putting the chassis back in the set and closing it all back up, I plugged it in and C1 exploded, causing a ton of smoke to pour out of the set. I don't know what I could've done between working on the IF and putting the chassis back in, but I'm guessing that either the capacitor was already weakened from the times I plugged it in to test the fuseistor a month ago and it just gave up the ghost, or I may have somehow shorted it. Either way I'm going to have to wait for the replacement capacitor to arrive before I can continue working on it.
