Finished replacing the paper caps and open power resistors last night and fired it up.


It produces a raster, hiss out of speaker and the tuner is creating some snow. Can't display a test pattern though.


After running a few minutes, the main filter cap was getting quite hot so I shut it down before it vented. Another twist lock on the main chassis was also getting warm. I'll tackle those next.


Also starting some cabinet work. There's masking tape reside on the control panel and screen bezel I need to remove.
