Ok, I'll start replacing the wax capacitors tomorrow. I guess I'm going to have a lot of soldering to do.
I just hope I can get
some kind of image soon. This is getting frustrating. I know it could be worse...at least the CRT is lighting up and responds to the screen controls, and I am getting sound (although it's muffled). The tv isn't totally dead. If changing the other capacitors doesn't fix the problem though...eek...I'll really be out of ideas then. I'll have to see what happens! Maybe with some luck, I'll have good news to report in a day or two.
BTW, I did try cleaning the controls with an electrical contact cleaning spray. The sound knob especially was really scratchy, and cleaning it with the spray fixed that problem. I also tried spraying the "picture" control, but that didn't really seem to do anything.
