Electrostatic Deflection "Bunching" - Solved

[TV-collector]

Wow, thats the news of the year!!!!!!!!
I have a lot of new 1000 PF/12.000 Volts caps which I connected to about 5000 PF.
Now I could get a problem because they need their space.

There's been a lot of concern about the compatibility of the newer issue capacitors, in the deflection circuits.
Some restorers didn't have any success, using ceramic disk caps. I thought, using the high quality tubular caps, were the answer to all the problems.
The original caps, were nasty, old oil caps.
BTW, how did National get away with using door-knob caps, as coupling caps.

Tom,
I've been fighting that exact bunching on my Admiral. I was suspicious of a replacement vertical output transformer.
I'll be trying the .01's shortly. Thanks a lot for being persistent and solving this!
