I mean the part number given in the Sams manual (C40). 630V should be fine there.

Why do you think there is an 800v in there? Could it have been repaired in the past possibly?

Just about every old radio or TV that I've owned had at least a few repairs.

Or, perhaps the manufacturer was using up parts that they happened to have in abundance, even though the voltage rating exceeded the specified minimum. They might have gotten a great deal on a boxcar full of 800v-rated caps.

Progress!!!
Well if progress means moving backwards. I finished with the caps that I had ordered, but after spending some intimate time with the under side of the set I realized that I missed 7 electrolytics hiding under two metal cans. So they are on order and I await their arrival. I decided to fire the set up again to see what, if any, progress I have made. I fired the set up and... no raster. Moving backwards! I also thought that the flyback transformer was quieter than it was before, although that could be in my imagination. The tubes did light up pretty like a Christmas though.

I didn't spend much time trying to figure out where I went wrong. I figure I'll have some time in the next few days before the new caps get here.

BTW thanks so much for all of your help Phil.
