1967 Color Sylvania video died (Mod. CF16W)

Hi--

I probably do not run my TVs enough...turned them on today and came back down in an hour or so and the Sylvania's raster was out. Opened the can and found some evidence of smoke. Seemed to center around 3CU3A tube, which I removed.

Nothing melted...a resistor(?) was blackened a bit but not melted.

Is it possible that if I just get a new 3CU3A and plug it in, this might come back to life? Cheap on ebay.

Screen was fine when I turned it on today initially, but I left the room. Was viewing via UHF mini transmitter attached to cable box.

Thx!
