Hi Nooch,

How old is this TV? Is it black and white or color?

If the TV is from the late 1960s or newer, it likely has "Orange Drop" or "butterfly" capacitors, and upon last powerup, you got no smoke, the electrolytics are at least not shorted. Some of the good ones can last a while, but the consensus is that it is always a good idea to replace them. If the TV is from the 1950s or older, then all the capacitors should be replaced. Paper -wax or ceramic covered paper-wax caps dry up and short after a many years.

Do you have antique radio repair experience? If not, you may want to leave checking this TV out to a pro. TVs have rather dangerous voltage levels. In addition, accidentally breaking a picture tube is very dangerous.

"Do Justly, love Mercy and walk humbly with your God"- Micah 6:8

Best Regards,
