I kinda figured. It got used heavily while I was growing up. I'm really only using it to watch VHS tapes about once a week (maybe less if I'm busy) anymore. The picture is pretty good with contrast at like 2/3 turned up and brightness up a little bit, I think I need to adjust the focus, as the image was a bit crisper before I replaced the cap I did.
As for the film cap that JohnCT mentioned isn't bulged or anything, but I'll keep a lookout for one on ebay, who knows. I did find a nos PTC thermistor for the degaussing circuit.
I'll triple check the filament voltage when I get a chance, and I still have to figure out this audio buzz issue maybe a worn cap or something in the audio circuit.
