I replaced them with modern film caps (the brown chiclet style) rated for 630V. I paralleled two caps to make up the .035 cap.
I guess it's possible that one of the replacement caps is bad or that I (shudder!) installed a wrong value. I can disconnect and test them.

On other sets of the day that were based on the RCA 630 those caps on the linearity coil were 1000V IIRC. Are you sure the 600v ones you found in it were original?
