VideoGamer24385,

When you say, 'there is just glue', what exactly do you mean? Also, do any of the caps appear bulged out or leaking? If so, then I would advise replacing all the caps (C1 through C13). Judging by the photos, you definitely have the symptoms of Simasimac and replacing the caps is one highly suggested solution to this problem.

Don't worry too much about getting shocked by the CRT. The only place you'll have to come in close contact with on that is the raster board attached to the CRT's neck; that's the small circuit board plugged in on the narrow back of the picture tube. Sometimes you might need to remove it in order for your hands to reach down to the cables holding the logic board in.

If replacing caps doesn't sound like your cup of tea, send me a private message and we can discuss arrangements for you to have me do the repair. (See the discussion I posted "Offering of my services to the 68kmla community".)
