Damn, I wish I knew how to translate what you're telling me into prose.
So if Mrs. Amato had a dead set, does that mean the power wouldn't come on? Or does it mean it clicks on but there's a black screen?
If there was no power (or is it low power?), would he take it into the shop? If so, what would he test/look at first? The 5U4? Thanks.

The cap probably would not have been shorted, but leaky. This would load down the power supply and cause low B+ voltage. This would cause a small picture. A dead 5U4 would cause a dead set.
