Ok, I found out that cement and drilling machine fabricating techniques don't apply to tvs. The main board in this Sanyo is a N7EK and I found some traces buggered up on the back, but I thought I would be able to repair them. Following NorCal's video I discovered a blown I C for audio regulater. Ordered 2 chips per his part number and started into repair of my new flat tv. Got old blown out chip removed with just 1 slight problem, ground strap for terminal 4 pulled loose and I replaced it with a 2 strand wire. Ok now I went for the big Mcgilla, replacing the chip. However I don't have a hot air gun, just a small butane torch I had taken off of a teenage relative a few years ago. I will leave it to your imagination what he was using it for. So after the better half came running out of the backroom yelling whats on fire and my oxygen wasn't working too good and the smoke alarm went off, I determined I heavy handed with the torch.]

I've been working on a 1984 Sanyo 27" color TV which had a smattering of bad caps in the video switching circuit. I found this oddball little 1uF 25V cap which looks to me like an early polymer, but I can't find concrete info proving it. I know Sanyo was a big player in early polymer cap development and this is the time period where they were just getting on the market, so I'm wondering if anyone has crusty old datasheets that could help identify it and determine if my suspicions are right? It has the same epoxy end seal and font/formatting as some old stock Os-Cons I've got laying...
