it looks like pulling the chassis (to get at the filter caps) is not going to be much of a problem. The tuner seems to plug into the chassis with what looks like an octal socket. So I just have to disconnect the speaker, tuner, degausser. I did not check out the convergence assy but I have to assume its also a plug in deal. I have to admit these sets seem to have been built to be serviced.
On the filter caps I will prob just bone saw them off and install radial caps on top. Much easier with the bone saw over my old approach of un twisting the locks on the cans to stuff them.
One dumb design is the use of a little 5*7 speaker for the audio, not tying into the amp and speaker used by the stereo. Seems like a waste not to use that better sound system. Of course for all practical purposes I should be able to just hook into the aux audio of the dvd or converter and just turn the volume control down on the TV and use the stereo amp for sound.
