I used to help a friend at his TV repair shop around 1979-1980
We replaced a lot of those 4 legged caps, I seem to recall a couple sets with the CRT busted from runaway H.V.

Wasn't the System III set the one with the large Mainboard with clip on interconnect cables going to the other modules?
There was a very high failure rate on those when they first came out, we replaced tons of those boards under warranty!

The picture was incredible though, the color was very detailed and accurate as as I recall.
