Cinematronics Monitor Repair Advice

Hi all,

I'm working on getting a Tailgunner monitor running. When I got it, it
had a couple burned out components. C3 or C4 (a 2.2 uF 35v tant cap) was
popped open and R118 or R119 (a 47 ohm 1/4 watt resistor) was burnt to a
crisp. C3/C4 is right next to the 7918 voltage regulator which appear fine
(tests very similar to a 7915 anyway) and R119/R119 is right next to the
large vertical deflection transistors (which also tests out fine). I've
checked pretty much everything else on the board and nothing seems bad.

While I'm working on it (and ordering parts for it), is there anything I
should change just to make it more reliable. Should I do more of the tant
caps?

Thanks for your suggestions.
