I saw nothing like that. But i did see the small white caps marked 22-5001. There were at least five in and around the areas you mentioned. Where can I get these? Just unsolder and solder in new ones? How much should I pay? Any part/reference number I should ask for. What problem will replacement of these prevent?

Btw, the inside of the 63 looks way less intimidating. : o

Thanks again.

They need to be changed, but they are not the one that can
destroy the set. Every one that goes bad causes the HV to go up by
1KV-2KV. Symptoms I remember are pix not wide enuf & foldover.
You may also get arcing at the HV tripler ( big red wire comes out
of it) focus pin at pix tube (CRT) socket & HV connector to CRT bell.
All in all they cause great stress to the horz & HV components.
Best bet is to find OEM replacements. You MUST use the right ones
or they will burn up fast. If you cant find OEM there is a capacitor
expert here but I dont remember his name.
Someone will pipe in & help you with your search.
