Yes, that is a common model but makes a great picture. An example of a cheap set which really held up well over the years. Made in Malaysia, 1987-1988.

There was a chassis revision at the end of the run which used a different flyback---the flyback was the weak point of this chassis.

I've owned at least 3 examples of this set, including one from a fellow VKer where he built a VHS deck into the cabinet.

The CRT is either sourced from Goldstar or Toshiba. I have seen both in this model.

I wouldn't worry much about those filter capacitors unless they're swollen or leaky. I'd be more concerned about going over all the solder joints and reflowing any marginal ones. High heat areas would be around the regulator, horizontal out, and the flyback. Also check the neckboard and touch up the grayscale, and clean the rgb pots there. Standard practice for this era. Then focus it up and enjoy it. They last.
