Recapping Sony 5-303W

If you want the set to be reliable, then by all means replace the electrolytics on both the sweep board (the top one) and the signal board (the lower one). I have one of the same model and it recently lost the picture and I suspect the trouble is a bad cap in the horizontal section. Transistor radios of the same age are coming up needing all electrolytics replaced. This TV should benefit greatly from a recap.
