Will that 6uf throw things off that much?

My guess is it's not critical because it's not in the feedback loop for the vertical circuit.
Edit: besides, electrolytic tolerance is so wide it would never be designed into a spot that could have a large influence. It generally just needs to be big enough.

but it does go down (pt 51) to pin 2 on the convergence assy plug, which goes directly to r27 R-G vert lines top, I have always wondered if that 56uf cap was a mistake.

Again, I think its only job is to be big enough. If you have a spare 50 microfarad of the right voltage rating, you could tack it across C4 to see if even doubling the value does anything.
