I would take some good pictures before starting just in case a wire does get broken but really one of the easiest sets to work on in my opinion since there's so little to it.

That's what I was thinking just remove the CRT but that looks to be a little tricky because the screws that hold the tube into place on the front panel are kind of inaccessible which with my screw drivers I have will make it kind of tough to get into the already barely accessible space.
Also one thing that's kind of crappy is that one of the retention springs had a broken mounting screw hole so its being held into place by just a little bit of what remained of the mounting screw hole and the mounting screw.
Now I would like to know what would be a good replacement for the original radial leaded capacitors that are in this TV? I'm asking because the original caps were radial leaded capacitors with the leads spaced apart at about an 1/8" whereas the modern Radial lead Capacitors have the leads spaced out at about 3/4" apart which is too wide for the original holes. I could just get axial leaded capacitors and mount them on end but that would look kind of silly and also it might be a little dangerous without having some sort of spaghetti wrapping on the exposed lead coming out of the top of the capacitor going to the board.
