Actually, as it has a 22K resistor in parallel, you probably could get away with just leaving it in (the 22K resistor should swamp any cap leakages). I first used a ceramic cap in my TV there, but the horiz hold was too drifty. Then used a orange drop type, and that fixed that.
Thanks for the heads up. I truly have an advantage because the set actually works and it has not been restored. It will be the next item on the bench. I should document a step by step restoration. Surely some of us could benefit from it...
