That one was 4.7uF/100 volts, I think, almost two inches or over 40mm long.

Okay thanks. I didn't think it would be an issue, though I don't know what could be causing it.
I replaced the electrolytics in the horizontal area already. There's also the linearity coil which I guess could be a bad value for the circuit and maybe it was always like this, but I can't imagine them thinking it's okay.
I wonder if I can improve the linearity by replacing the coil with something adjustable, or there's some other part of the circuit that I can tweak to improve it?
Maybe adding some capacitance to the big film cap?
