I agree on the precautionary re-capping... I'll refrain from turning it on until I recap it. I probably got lucky not to blow it up by powering it on the one time for the pictures... I'm glad I quit while still ahead!

And a note on the color fields... I can't explain it either, but also, when I took the photos, I had to take about 25 photos of the screen until I found one that had all 3 colors. Most were either one color, or two with a black band. I also can't hear the horizontal oscillator, which I can hear plainly on most other TVs. I found that strange too....
