It has a single 1B3. What is the best way to test the cap? Apply HV to it from another TV and see if it arcs? I used new safety caps from justradios

It sounds like yours is arcing internally so the only indication that it's arcing, if you tried it on another set, would be it pulling the HV low on that set. I guess you'd hear the arcing.

I found a doorknob cap one ebay, but It's coming from China so it might take awhile to get here. The cap in the TV is 600pf on the Sams the value is 500pf. The one I ordered is 500pf.

Won't matter much you probably don't even need it if the CRT is Dag coated. It's just the HV filter.
