Remove all the tubes (except HV rect), disconnect CRT from its socket, power up and measure AC current draw from the wall. This 'idle' current should be very low. If it's excessive, suspect some cooked windings in the xfmr.

Well the only problem is, that as I pointed out in a previous post I have accidentally replaced two .05 MFD capacitors with 2 .0047 MFD capacitors because I misread the capacitor code on the outside of the capacitors, which I thought they said 473K on them but then after I installed them in the TV set I looked at the code marker again and saw that it actually said 472K not 473K like I thought it did.
So I have two capacitors in the TV that are outside of the tolerance rating of the original capacitors so I'm afraid to power it up until I get those capacitors replaced with the correct value capacitors which I currently don't have any .047 MFD 630 VDC capacitors in my capacitor stash.
I don't want to order anything yet unless I can make a full order and I can't do that until I know this thing is going to be worth my time ordering the rest of the capacitors I need to finish the job and I don't want to put an order in for just two capacitors because that's a waste.
Does anyone have a couple of .047 MFD 630 VDC film capacitors that they could spare?
