OK, thanks for the info. I was kind of surprised at how many of those Orange Drops were actually bad on this TVs Deflection Board, and they weren't your cheap run of the mill orange drops either they were Spragues, which are normally pretty high quality capacitors. and then there were some General Industries Brown Drops in there (there were about 4 of them in total) and two of them were bad, so I'm not sure what kind of failure rate we're talking here but it seems that out of about 30+ mylar caps on the deflection board and the majority of them being Sprague 716P Series Orange Drops and only 4 or so General Industries Brown Drops to have only 4 Orange drops fail and two Brown Drops fail over the course of about 57 years I think that seems like a pretty decent track record. What's interesting is that it was only the vertical section caps that failed and the horizontal section caps were still good (this TV's Horizontal is rock solid yet, it was the Vertial section that failed, and I find that seems to be the case with the majority of the TVs I've worked on so far is that the Horizontal section is fine but the vertical section is what fails.)
