Okay, so update number one.

Bongs and boots has turned into bongs but no video. I know the CRT works, or it did, but it's not working now.

As you can see, cosmetically, it's not a winner.



My first question:

What's the hot glue looking stuff on those analog board components in the top of the picture. I'm on the lookout for leaky capacitors, but as I've never seen one, I'm not sure precisely what I'm looking for, although I have a general idea. That stuff just looks like hot glue.



Is it?
