Strangely enough, that set's identical twin, same caps look fine. I might just end up replacing them over the winter though, as it's a perfect job for a sub-zero degree day with heavy snowfall and a pot of hot coffee.....

This is one of my twin CTC-68s. Always had a green convergence problem on warmup, and no matter what I did, the colors always seemed off somehow.

Pulled the chassis, and replaced 5 capacitors.....3 on the convergence board and 2 on the main chassis. They look like hot dogs with grill marks....lol. Weird because ONLY this exact style of cap was affected.

Anyway, the set performs perfectly now, and the convergence is dead dead DEAD on (did I say dead on? )......which ain't something that I'm used to seeing
Man, that set is sweet.

The first part of the body text in that ad, I must say, oh man, burn. Meh, I'd be a lot more anxious to see what a hot girl has covered up.
