yep, bad orange drops do happen occasionally. Lots of times the zenith table b/w sets will have short vertical. Ive found it to be a bad (leaky) maroon drop .0068uF in the output circuit. Had this happen about 3 times already (different sets of course).
I lost vertical sweep in a CTC-16 I bought from Tim a few years back. that was caused by a shorted orange drop which in turn smoked the B+ dropping resistor to the vertical output plate. I can't remember exactly but it was something like a .1uF. Faulty mylars are indeed a rare occurance though.
