Well it's done and reassembled. It turns on and off as it should. Also, recapping the audio board helped with a background static you could hear when volume was low.

I'm attaching a few pics of the cleaned up and reattached triac (I cleaned off that little blob on the side), the two capacitors causing all the trouble in the trigger circuit, the capacitor that was 75% of it's value that seems to be a decoupler in the volume circuit of the remote board and in the same pic you can see the optocoupler.

As a side benefit, now when I use the volume control on the remote it changes level with no crackle/static type noise like before. It's quiet and smooth in level change.

So far I'm quite happy with fixing these issues. This along with the jailbars being gone, it only leaves me with one last issue. I need to figure out how to get the setup function fixed so I can properly set the G2s. Otherwise I'll just keep it as set by a B&W image and always wonder if it's set optimum.

Thanks for all help and advice. Without everyone here, this might not have gone as well as it did.
