Wonder why are they using a door knob cap in a set with a glass crt instead of using the aquadag for a path to ground?

Yes, they have doorknob caps. So do most of my 10BP4 and 12LP4 sets with grounded aquadag. I guess they wanted the extra capacitance. I think only my cheapo Motorolas rely entirely on the aquadag for HV filtering.
