Hello,
I received my 5-303W yesterday. I purchased a 1/8 to F adapter and connected my satellite receiver to it. The picture is tilted slightly, and it seems to flicker in contrast or brightness, I can't tell which. The picturte is really sharp, so the tuner and IF sections are good. Just now as the TV plays, I heard a sizzle/release of hot liquid, and some smoke came out. I'm guessing it's an electrolytic. It's playing now as I write this, but it's being turn off in a few minutes.
What do you guys usually do to these sets to make them more reliable and operate better? Is it a good idea to replace every electrolityc? Also, the paper/oil capacitor, this must be replaced as well? Other than replacing these capacitors, since the tuner and IF section is in good condition, I suppose that is all that needs to be done other than cleaning pots, etc?
Thanks.
Jonathan
