Some problems can't be solved without signal tracing (scope) or signal injection (variable frequency generator). When you get in this deep you should have both and you're kinda screwed if you don't have at least one.
Hi Tom. I'm using the 1077 to look at the various video IF stages on the RCA that's dominated my life for the past 2 months. I did a complete recap on the B&K except for a 22uf 350V non-polarized electrolytic cap that's in the composite video output circuitry. Not to hijack the thread but the biggest NP cap I can find is 100V DC. The installed ELNA cap doesn't look very good. The leads are on the top of the can and there's goo...the dreaded goo coming out where the leads exit the cap.

Does anyone know of a source for higher voltage NP electrolytic caps? 350V seems awfully high for where this cap is located. I'm thinking the 100V would be fine. Composite video out quality isn't great. I've checked Mouser and DK with no luck.
