All the tubes started to come on, the picture tube started to roll and no buzz or excessive heat and no smoke. i let it run for about 10 minutes and tried to get a picture with the dish. All i got was a white screen and what sounded like static. Im sure it needs a recap, but any ideas where to begin? Ill post some better pictures when i get home.

First, establish the model/chassis - look for the Chassis number - you are looking for a KCSXX number. That'll get you servicing info that will have a schematic, voltage values and more service info. Then, look for any wax caps that will need replacing, and establish what electrolytics need replacing - the service info (Sams Photofact) will help with this. Best tip I can give - post any problem or question here, and the experts will help!

Cheers,
