I have no clue whatsoever as to replacement, but holy crap that's insane! It has an end clearly marked positive, but the 60 ~ should be referring to 60Hz AC, so why is it polarized?! I don't think that's an Omega symbol, perhaps its like the multi-section cap indicators and that's the half-moon symbol? (Only one section though.)

How many leads does it have?

My brain has gone into "Deer in headlights" mode from seeing that picture.

Got my answer on FB from Bob Anderson. Need to replace with an 1800 uf @ 4 volt polarized filter cap. He sent me this calculator page and explained:

"They use that cap to drive the vertical yoke so it's important to have a certain impedance at the 60Hz refresh rate."

Thanks Bob!! Learn something new during each restore!!!
