Still working on my Sylvania

[Mick AV-8]

No the .01 cap is the red one at the top of the picture(few messages up)
That brite colored red one is marked .01/600 it is not on the schematic that I can find.

I cut out the orange drop..maybe it looks more coral..it was 0.015/1600 and I cut out the black one in the back it was the 0.2 and replaced it with a new 0.022/630.

Yeah Just Radios sent me the 470/15KV's in the mail today that they messed up on. I am not sure if I can get into that HV cage without removing the CRT.
Could I just skip those... if I do not want to remove the CRT from the chassis?
Fire it up to see what I get?

I believe that the bright red one at the top is C172 on the Sylvania schematic. It is probably o.k. I'm not sure what it's made of. I have a bunch. Maybe I should cut one open to find out.

Did you really replace the 0.2 with a 0.022/630 or was that a typo?

Curiously, in the second production run they replaced the 0.2uF paper capacitor with two 0.1uF paper capacitors in parallel. Finding a 0.2uF at 600V might have become difficult. Otherwise I can't see a reason for it.

All I can say about the HV caps is that the same exact part number in my Sylvania was bad. I don't blame you for not wanting to mess with the CRT. I don't think it would hurt the flyback. But, I'm not sure.
