Heh!  Well, you sure picked a 'winner' to start back into that stuff!  I
don't believe there has been a monitor made anywhere with MORE junk in it
and around it, and through it and wrapped around it than that NEC 3D!

Last one of those I worked on I think I recall the vertical heat sink was
mounted in a way that made it impossible to remove the screw and nut that
held the IC in place without actually pulling out the bottom board, or the
picture tube!  With ALL the stuff in there, I pulled the socket from the
tube and took IT out, as the yoke leads unplugged easily.  

Won't hurt to check the caps, but I'm pretty sure you will need the IC. 
That was one of the items I used to get from that 'mat electronics'.

Their catalog was a relatively thin newsprint type of paper catalog, but
packed with stuff, including "repair kits" for many monitors. 
The pictures of the kits showed all the parts, and had a listing of all the
part numbers below the picture.  Best thing I ever had for trouble
shooting, as I could look at the picture, and know exactly what parts to
check.

You mentioned that they are still around, see if you can get them to put
you on their catalog list.


     Good luck...  M.
