I remember when I first used the .005uf ceramics in the vertical I could not get the vertical to fill out all the way without the linearity going way off. The picture would stretch out severely at the top giving a cone head effect. The only way I could get correct linearity was to have the vertical height control set to where the picture was about half height. It is amazing to me how well these sets actually perform when they are correctly restored and adjusted. Mine is in regular service and has been a dependable daily watcher for a while now. Not bad for early TV technology.
