also tom,,,
i saw a youtube that a guy found a bad IF with those silver mica caps by turning out the lights with the set upside down and he could "see" the lightning show.
i did that on my s53 and saw the same thing,, got some similar IF's from play things of the past and installed, then did an alignment ,, then it became a christmas gift for my youngest son... still going.
in this case i have no visual arching that i can see.
i think now i am at a situation where i need to use a signal tracer.
all i have is a huntron, few meters, a signal generator and a frequency counter.
