Failed Cap's



Piers - thinking of failed cap's, what chance, would you guess, of
that being the problem with out old CRT, which seems to have a fly-
back problem ... ie: the image on the screen doesn't fill the full
width anymore, and is unreadable ... if it was just a blown cap',
maybe I could fix it (needless to say, with the high voltages
involved, I've not opened it up, yet) ?
