I've done it! With the help of an old TV Guardian, all VHS and LaserDisc movies I stream to Fedi friends will have closed captions!!!

For anyone who maybe finds this and wants to try something similar, I highly recommend tracking down one of these as they use composite cables (which removes a lot of the hard work of converting things to make stuff function).

Think I found the problem, lol. Right above that blue guy there is the remnants of another electrolytic, and right below it is a smaller 2.2μF that appears to have had a somewhat less spectacular failure.

So assuming I didn't break anything tearing it down, this should be a very cheap and easy fix.
