early 90's maggie

this is my daily driver just went off a couple days ago.

plug in you can hear a relay but nothing when it click (used to be the set would come on after a few seconds and the click). no audio, no power lights.

weeks before it died I noticed the focus was a bit soft, I adj the focus pot on the fly and it was fine.

Just before it died I noticed some odd look to the CRT on bright spots of the scene, sort of a yellowish glare look.

I hate to toss it since it has a very good pic, and was made in USA (at least that is what is on the PCB I saw when I had it out for the focus adj).

If it had not been for the odd color/glare on the CRT I would assume just an old cap in the PS causing some kind of shut down.

I know its a WGPC (wood grain) but I still like it so the plan is to pull it out and give it a visual once over for bad caps. After that I will prob check the HOT for shorts, then move on to testing caps.
