Wasn't sure if you were the one working on the set, Bryan, or if it was someone before you. Curious though, what was the set doing which led you to replace specific capacitors, when you got it? How long did you have it running afterwards, and did you notice anything that it did?

Tried spraying the service switch, and powered the set back up. When I switched it over to the service side, the ticking (which I'll call arcing, because I realized that's what it sounded like) went away.

Switched the set back to the "service" position to get underneath to listen and isolate it further, and by the time I laid on the floor, I heard what sounded like the same static that you hear when the picture tube lights up on some sets, and I lost raster. Shut set off immediately. Smelled something burned

Dammit.
