I inspected the set and found no exploded or bad looking capacitors.
However I found unplugged speaker and CRT HV cup. Reconnecting those I found
sound, both on the NOAA weather channel and our remaining Ch. 39
QVC analog station.

However, still no raster.

After a couple of minutes I noticed a smell which may be well be acetonitrile,
CH3CN (yes, its a cyanide but only slightly poisonous, I'm actually a chemistry professor.) This means a bad electrolytic somewhere.

Its not easy getting the thing apart, even with instructions,

Somebody around here must have worked on one of these things. The
model number is KVX-370. Any takers for advice?
