I'd replace them just to sell the set and have it come back in a week with the parts blown again due to an arcing or shorted CRT. And, those CRT's usually will not check shorted on a CRT tester. I just finally got to the point where when a Zenith came in with those parts blown, it went straight to the trash.
Glad to hear your experience...I'll give it one more once over and probably junk it. If anyone wants the chassis, etc, just let me know.
