Had that happen to me on the first set I restored...I was moving up north during the extended process. I could not read those stripe coded bumbelbee caps back then, and went by the sam's....BIG mistake! The parts list, and the schematic had the same cap rated a factor of 10 different depending on which you looked at. My set had a 'no video' issue that (in adition to making me walk away from the project for ~ 1 year) made what was likely a sam's typo induced error go undetected until I had lost track of the original caps to confirm... I did not have a good stock of caps when I got video back and was confronting the issue, and unsure of the sam's being the cause, I fixed it by playing with resistors in the vertical stage until it worked...
That was the first TV restoration I did, and that set made me WORK for it every step of the way. A challenge, knowledge building experience, and accomplishment if I ever had one in my high school years...
