I took the chassis out and connection look good but I resolder them anyway. Not being confendet that would fixs the set. I started testing components that might give trouble wile the set is cold but get better after being on. Which means I tested the caps and found out that all of the Phillips branded capes were completely bad reading in with very high esr, capacity in NF range, and very high voltage loss. There were ten Phillips capacitors in all and they were all bad. So to anyone how has a tv from this time period it seems those Phillips brand caps are garbage now. I have had to order some replacement caps as i naturally don't have the ones I need. Do to age of the set being close to 40 years old I decided to recap most of the tv as in past I had left some caps that tested good and little whileone of them blow up some expensive parts. I don't often recap stuff unless I feel it needs it.
