I also replaced capacitor C43 (.0015/1KV) by wiring two .00033/630V caps in series to make one .00165/1260V. Since then, I got a ceramic .0015/1KV cap which I could substitute for C43 if the difference between .0015 and .00165 seems that critical. (Only a 10% difference, right?)

2 .00033 in series would be .000165 not .00165 off by a factor of 10x that would certainly cause problems. if that is the case it point to the reason why I alway check what comes out to what goes in on my old cap tester. even leaky caps will generally give a good enough value check to compare to new caps going in.
