Default Re: B&O Capri 606 TV (17") restoration

I'd be tempted to remove the PY88 and the CRT base while you reform the main capacitors - the variac will make a good job of that. The circuit is typical B&O - looks normal on first sight, but there are some interesting flourishes.
Depending on how dry the set was in storage, it's often an idea to make sure the LOPT is bone dry, either by removal and keeping it in a warm place (not sure how easy this is on this chassis) or else by passing a low current through the overwind - there are details on how to do this elsewhere. LOPTs were certainly a weak spot on the B&O colour chassis as we all know!
The frame stage looks particularly interesting, and I suspect some capacitor replacement will be needed here, but I think it should provide a very linear picture. Some photos would be great so we can see what it looks like.
Good luck!
