I usually don't just go replace any mica caps like I do with all the paper ones when I restore a set. But just 2 months ago, I went to watch my 721TS, and couldn't get horiz sync. (The oscillator was running at the wrong frequency, it wasn't a problem where the picture wouldn't lock into place). It turned out to be a leaky mica cap. While I had it apart, I replaced all the micas that had anything to do with the horiz osc, but left the others. I wonder if bad mica caps are becoming a common problem in these sets?
