RCA 8CP41 Recent Find

Just bought home a 8CP41 projection set. Thought it was neat enough to justify the size/weight. A few questions.

The 5TP4 tests really well, I guess it wasn't used much. It's got an external coating that's flaking. The datasheet calls for dag down to the base of the neck, but a non conductive coating on the rest of the bell. What's should be used for the non conductive coating? Regular spray paint?


For the HV doorknob capacitors, what's an acceptable modern day substitute? Ceramic? I'm somehow missing one of five.
