IIRC GE and RCA also had single capacitors in the sets from the 80s

Zenith made it much easier by using one cap, with several in parallel as needed.
I have a NOS Zenith 22-5001 and will check its value with my Fluke to see what it is.
Yup. GE's were famous for there cap opening. Usually just blew the HOT
& the rectifires on the vert board sometimes. You could take a
working one & pull on it & it would come apart. We changed them
all if not updated. Maggie was a big long time user of 4 lead caps
I think up to the C-1 chassis there best set IMHO. Zenith used them through the 9-160 era at least. I think more would have used them
if not for the early problems Zenith had with the American Radionics
ones, I would have steered clear to !
Well its always fun talking shop..........
