Coincidence! Sunday I was given a Sentry 2 console from '92. I don't recall the chassis # off the top of my head but it is very similiar in build. The owner said it had become intermittent, and would work if slapped hard. It was dead to me; found a blown fuse. I am concentrating on the area around that largest capacitor; to the left there is a transistor and mine, no lie, is blown apart! Half of it is missing. There is a small resistor adjacent which looks a little crisp. My thought is to replace that cap and the resistor/transistor-but I'm not sure if I want to bother with it. I will certainly have to give this TV away even if it works perfectly. AUdubon, if I was in your neighborhood this would be a third set for you to use! Anyway, I'll follow this thread and see what I can garner from it.
