Hey, if it works, who cares what it looks like under the chassis especially on this TV where you need to practically tear it apart to take a look.

I probably wont ever be neat installing the rest of the caps. On a higher note its the cleanest outside and inside tv I have ever bought. Most of the few tvs I have purchased have the whole garden plus 15 years of dirt and jimmy hoffa in side to clean. This one looks like its practically stuck in a dishwaser clean! NO, the dry electrolytic caps have not been restuffed, just magic marker labeled by someone probably troubleshooting. I think I will get all filter caps replaced before I see how it performs. I dont yet know where the rectifiers are yet... oh wait as Im typing this just saw them and diodes along side the selenium rectifiers spotted so thats good.
