hey guys I got this ILO TV to recap. Already recapped once a year ago by someone else, but judging by the glue around two smaller caps, those two smaller ones were it, also I saw some flux near them.
It had a barely bloated 450/100, and a second 450/100 that was actually kind of burned ontop. It was close to a mosfet heatsink, and when I started to get it unglued, one of the legs literally fell of without much pushing. I looked and the hole had brown dried up lytic shit that somehow, weakened the leg, or eroded the leg. Mouser was out of any 35mm replacements (unless i wanted to wait till 1/22/13) so I had to get a 40mm. Its still close. any idea of how I can help insulate the top?

I picked it up last November from someone on my local Craigslist. It wasn’t very close to where I live, but was close to a family friend that I had to go visit anyways. So after watching the posting on Craigslist for a few weeks and seeing it getting...
