I picked up this set at GW for $40 with the tag "needs repair." It was exhibiting the clicking and no start-up as listed on BadCaps.net, so I thought, why not. Opened the back and immediately noticed 4 bulging 1000uF/10V caps in the power supply (replaced with 1000uF/25V). I had a mixture of United Chemi-con, Nichicon and Panasonic caps on hand, so that's what I used, even some film caps for the really small values. I figured, it was already opened up so might as well replace all those cheap caps in there even if they didn't show signs of bulging. The only 'lytic I didn't replace was the 220uF/450V main filter cap. Buttoned it up today and it works like a champ. Now to find a remote...
