Rob,
I just saw the pics of the chassis of your GE TV. Gee whiz, it's a miracle (IMO) the set works with a patch job like that on the electrolytics. Seems to me someone (obviously not a professional TV technician) did this job in a hurry, just to get the set going again after the original caps failed.
I also saw the picture of the rebuilt stand for your set. Ater reading your description of its condition after you got the set, I'd say that stand was badly in need of a rebuild, and I don't mean maybe. You did a very good job of rebuilding it, however; it should last years now.
I think you did a good job of matching the color of the stand to that of the cabinet as well. I have a fairly new monitor (HP MX70) on my computer that shows colors very accurately, so I would have been able to spot any major discrepancies between the color of the legs and that of the rest of the set immediately. The differences may be noticeable if one is looking for them, but most of the time, again IMO, it will not detract from the overall appearance of the set.
