Just a side note, I have had my eye on a certain notorious for failing "bumblebee" capacitor for a swap out just for general purpose. But before doing that I wanted to see what circuit that it involved. Turns out that it is a .01 600V cap (C117) that looks to be in parallel with what looks like 3 grids maybe inside the c.r.t.

So, I'm missing color but I don't think that this is the cap that would be one that would take it out leaving behind a good black and white picture. I probably still should get rid of the cap just based on the failure rate. I guess right now I am in the stage of repairing the set as opposed to just jumping in there and replacing every cap with no regard for actual troubleshooting. But even when I get it right I do plan on replacing most of the caps. I may keep the multi section cans as I have found them to be pretty darned tough.
