I got the capacitors from antique electronic supply and I had to order two capacitors to wire in parallel to give me the correct value. The new capacitor only had single leads; so, I jumped together the end leads where the original cap connected. The whole purpose of the 4-lead cap was that the internal interlock of the cap was supposed to open if the cap blew apart. Unfortunately, the interlock does not always open when the cap blows apart and that's why the HV runs up. When the interlock opens, it disables the horizontal output stage.
