Anyone know of a source for these? I'll spec it and pick them up separately if I have to but it sure would be easier to buy a kit.

Have you tried Zanen Electronics? 888-449-2636 or 806-793-6337
They didn't have a cap kit for my particular obscure presentation monitor, but they said they could fill a bag with the commonly used replacement caps for me.

Peale suggested that too. I'll give them a call today. Thanks! My 1084 is driving me nuts with little issues. Time to give it the full shop job.
EDIT: you were right, they suggested an assortment of the usual caps, and that I'd probably have a bunch left over. That's fine, I'll use them elsewhere.

Got the misc kit from Zanen in the mail... ~$17 shipped but has a lot of caps in it.
Opened up the 1084, may not even cap it. The "heat shield" doubles as ground and is directly soldered to the board in about 30 places. Clearly someone has been in here in the past and did some really trashy work taking the shield off and putting it back on. As a result the traces are somewhat fragile and a couple are actually lifted by the shield flexing because they put no stress relief.
Rather than resolder the broken joints on this shield I ran jumpers. Hopefully that will fix the intermittent signal issue. More to come when I get it back assembled and tested. I was going to do that last night but got all thrown off by the Chris Benoit incident.

Not sure where you are located, but I've got a 1084 laying around if you are interested.
Used it to test my JAMMA boards, but for some reason lately I'm swimming in arcade monitors :)

I'm in MA. It was working pretty well once I got it back together. Had to turn the screen slightly up but that's normal for a 20+ year old CRT. It may have been capped at some point in the past but without pulling that ground plate off I can't tell for sure. Whoever did it was sloppy and a bad solderer, that's for sure.
