My Sony GDM20SE2T takes 15 minutes or more for the display to come on. After
reading multiple items on this newsgroup and across the web, it sounds like
I have a capacitor that needs replacing. I have found one that shows
200megOhm resistance and steadily goes down when I test it with a DMM. It is
a 220?F 400V cap so I would imagine it shouldn't read like this. Am I on the
right track, and if so...where would be the best place to get a replacement
for it and any others I find that are trashed?

Thanks,
Charley
