well i checked out that cap and it was reading 28v across it. i should mention that the waxy coating i found was very very thin like hot engine oil residue or penetrating oil of some kind it definitely was not candle wax, in fact the only reason i guessed it was wax was because i could see a glossy reflection on that wax dipped cap and was able to wipe it right off with my finger when the set was running. i did notice that some of the electrolytics near the flyback and power supply section were warm to the touch with the set running last night and i will definitely check them out since they tend to dry out especially with heat. i hope the pictures i uploaded will work. i dug out my pattern generator and used a crosshatch pattern that shows a bit of what is happening but i can definitely take more if needed.
