BVM-D9H5J PSU board (component side up) on a paper towel after a partial recap: the large transformer, the large black main filter capacitor (the only cap left in place, since a replacement in that spec would not fit the case), a copper-wound inductor and a pink-insulated component, with the removed old electrolytic capacitors laid out on the towel below.

Sony BVM-D9H5J: Partial PSU Recap (Dimness Pending)

Sony BVM-D9H5J Trinitron arrived allegedly dead but just needed the right buttons pressed. Tube has 150,000 hours on it but doesn't look terrible. PSU partially recapped and a previous owner's poor rework job cleaned up; the dimness issue remains unsolved for now.
