No, I'm not sure they were mica caps, and I've never before considered replacing ceramic or mica. This was a last-gasp attempt to correct a problem with the horizontal hold by replacing every component that I couldn't verify for certain. The lower voltage rating was my mistake--I just forgot. As soon as I turned on the set I noticed that I'd lost some horizontal size, took a few seconds playing with controls before I noticed the wax melting on the resistor--that's when I remembered the original caps were rated 1 KV.
