Recapped the Avanti and....

Well the recap went well. I had to readjust the contrast, vertical size and a few other adjustments. A few of the caps were 50% or more out of tolerance. I changed the 10uf 350V in hopes it would get rid of the jail bars (picture attached), but it didn't. They're pretty faint, but noticeable in dark scenes. Is there another area I should be looking to fix?

I also changed the subcarrier regenerator module as the current one wouldn't adjust the APC correctly (the pot had a messed up slot for the driver and the center leg was loose in the circuit board hole). I was unable to get the pot to turn correctly. By the damage to the face and the leg, it looks like someone put too much pressure on it, stripped it and pulled the leg out.

I started the convergence from scratch and after an hour or so, I got most of the screen converged (picture attached). The only part is the top center. I tried so hard to get it converged, but it wasn't meant to be. I can live with this over how it was.
