Re-capping newer tv's is not necessary. Caps are made better now, the '40's 50's 60's had used different materials and they often did not hold up well. Newer sets like that panasonic may have some parts that would go regularly on a specific model, but just replacing all for no reason on a set like that is just a waste.

in a set like this Panny. The biggest thing is the risk of inducing a new problem & thats the hardest thing to find. Some common cap problems like the 2 tantalums in a Toshiba or the 200V filter that goes in everything are one thing. But all of them ? . Best to spend time checking it over for cold joints, you will find them in almost any old TV. Just do a visual on the caps in the PS, hoz, vert & scan supplies. If you see a top lifting & puss coming out change it ! Enuf 73 Zeno |

^ Sounds good to me. By the way, It's amazing that I never got a shock from HV, what with all the TVs and monitors I took apart in my youth without really knowing what I was doing. Worst I got was a couple of doses of household mains voltage, one being on a challenge from the superintendent at my old building. That guy could hold onto live mains wires no problem.

It just makes you sweat & may give you a-fribs for a short time. If fact if someone has a-fribs & gets a properly timed belt it can reset the heart to a normal rhythm. They did it to me 3 times but I didnt use a TV, I went to the hospital instead. Works better 73 Zeno |

^ Wow, I guess it's good that I didn't get dryer/stove current either time.
