Overdue, but I wanted to thank everyone again for your help. I got that set going just fine. Initially I replaced the thermistor from something from my junkbox. It looked close but when I powered the set up the fuse blew. I was going to order an exact replacement but then one day I took a back road home and there was a junk tv in the ditch. (1990 Zenith 19") It was trashed but the thermistor was intact so I did a transplant and it worked fine. And, yes, there was a bad cap, I think it was 330uf but not sure. I then had to clean around the ultor connection real good due to corona from all the dirt in this set. So, it's all wrapped up now, working great...now if I can just find someone who wants it! It figures that about the time I figure out how to fix sets like this, they would become worthless! I now have someone wanting to give me another RCA console with a color problem. There is a perfectly good Toshiba 27" going begging right now on freecyle-I won't get that one, at least.
