What to do on used sets?

before running it. If it opens the HV will go up to 40KV ++
& do a lot of damage including the CRT sometimes.

If not there its an early run. It will have IIRC 5 separate caps
marked 22-5001. One behind heat sink, 1 or 2 on flyback & the
rest on the bottom on the chassis. Again orange is good & white needs
replacing off ALL but its not as critical.

Ok. I spent a good deal of time studying this thing with it face down on my living room floor.(Padding underneath) I found the hoz output and heat sink but no large cap beneath. By cap I'm assuming a cilyndrical object (shaped like, but not neccessarily the size of, a roll of coins) with wires at each end (sorry, new b here)
I saw nothing like that. But i did see the small white caps marked 22-5001. There were at least five in and around the areas you mentioned. Where can I get these? Just unsolder and solder in new ones? How much should I pay? Any part/reference number I should ask for. What problem will replacement of these prevent?

Btw, the inside of the 63 looks way less intimidating. : o

Thanks again.
