Most of them use .005 uF for the verticals and .001 uF for horizontal. One exception in my collection is my Hallicrafters 505, which has huge .05 uF 6000 V caps! The originals were huge. Looking at various Hallicrafters schematics, it looks like they reduced them to .03 uF in later production, as I'm sure the .05's were expensive.
The vast majority of electrostatic sets, however, use .005 uF. If you see the bunching problem, I'd recommend giving .01 uF a try. I'm amazed at how much better this set is now. It went from hardly watchable to basically perfect, with a picture bright enough to watch in a well lighted room.
