they SAY the the ones in there are ceramic, but I am not sure what the hell they are, I tend to think they are more like the elmenco tubular ceramic shell caps bombs that were in my CTC-16LX, they went bad as well, i took one apart and it had wax seals on the ends, and to quote Electronic M, It is usually best to assume in any tube TV that any cap 1000pF (=.001uF) and up is paper unless it is flat disc ceramic or a later film type such as a Sprague orange drop.
I just should have replaced them all at first :/ |
My only reservation on the wholesale replacement of those is it may complicate your alignment requirements, but you wanted to learn full blown alignment anyway.
[edit] Just looked at what you ordered. Ceramic NPO may have been a better choice, but oh well.
