If You can solder and have access to capacitors then this is likely
fixable. 99% of the time what you describe is due to one 20 cent cap!

don't bother with ESR meters unless you plan on fixing tvs regularly,.
just change the caps near the frame /vertical IC. there aren't many
and they arent expensive. look for a small ish IC, usually on a metal
heat sink with anything from 6 legs. ( older sets used a pair of
transistors but this is doubtful in your case).

tip: if the ic is labelled say IC 401, then change all the nearby
caps similarly labelled , eg c405 c408 etc etc. do them one at a time
so you don't mix them up. good luck

Thanks for the replies and advice but I haven't quite figured out how to
start without either killing myself or trashing the TV. One or two things
I've read say to just short out the caps and picture tube. Then I read all
this stuff about using certain resistors to do it. Like this:

For the CRT, use a high wattage (not for power but to hold off the high
voltage which could jump across a tiny 1/4 watt job) resistor of a 1 to 10 M
ohms discharged to the chassis ground connected to the outside of the CRT -
NOT SIGNAL GROUND ON THE MAIN BOARD as you may damage sensitive circuitry.

Do I need to go to an electronics store and buy some resistors before I
start and if so what do I want?
