Thank you for your help
how hard would it be to replace the bad caps as i said before i never soldered anything before and would have to buy a solder iron to do it, also would the bad caps make the screen bounce as well? i really do want to fix this tv i just have no idea how to but i am willing to learn
I forgot to ad in my last post that the TV was made in 1984.
