1) there was never a recall on the 22-5001.Recall was on the next
chassis style with the 4 lead cap instead of 22-5001's
2) Orange Sprague caps are good. Never seen one open but a few shorted.
White American Radionic brand ones are garbage & usually open.
3) 3.5 KV not enough focus. Should be 4-5 ish KV The 130 V must be stable
or the pix will pulsate.
4) there are at least 3 different HV designs using different
triplers, dividers, bleeders & CRT sockets. Know what you have & save
old parts for there ##,s !
5) early problem usually a cap opens causing too high focus voltage.
Then over time the focus spark gap in the CRT socket gets toasted .
If left alone it will damage other HV parts.
BTW if you like lightning remove the caps & run the set. You get huge arcs,
you wont even get near it
