The 500 is in the 24V. Do the same thing but BE SURE
you discharge the subbing cap first.

One other thing is lead dress be sure nothing like the yoke
wires are near the CRT harness.

Also looks like there is still an old 22-5001 cap on the flyback
board, change it !

That pic is before the recap. All the safety caps have been changed to the orange drops (4 of them).

I think I have some caps to put in parallel. If not, my brother should. I'll let you know what happens.

As for the discharging, would leaving the set unplugged for a day do that? If not, which is the cap I should discharge? I think I have a high wattage ceramic resistor I could use.
