It doesn't arc when the cap is removed.

Yes those "doorknob" caps can arc internally.
I found a bad one just last week, it made a constant crackling sound but I couldn't see anything arcing, I found it by subbing it with another.
It probably won't cause the reduced sweep.
Does this set have two 1B3 rectifiers in a doubler circuit?
