hello Those little gizmos are called capristors (capacitor---resistor), use
the right thing otherwise if someone hooks the tv up to something like
cable(it carries power)and the set is a hot chassis(otherwise it wouldn't be
using a capristor)you will have a set that just shut off very quickly---an
open fuse, maybe some burnt print, and likely a shorted bridge....Just
trying to be of some help....Peter
