"Vintage Mitsubishi"

Just picked up a 1990 Mitsu 27" from the Salavation Army for $15.

Not something I would usually bother with but this was one of their better ones with Stereo and multiple inputs including S Video.

It has a classic woodgrain cabinet but the difference is that this one uses real wood

The Vertical was partly collapsed to about 8" across the center, I figured this is a bad cap, well, more like a dozen bad caps!

You can see little stains under about a dozen small lytics that have oozed their liquid onto the chassis.
I found one of the culprits in the vertical section by touching a sub to the board underneath. Replaced that one cap and now I have a full screen but the linearity is way off on the top half of the screen.

Think I should just shotgun in a dozen caps and see what happens or toss it now?
