Not just RCA but GE as well because I know that my GE 9T001 Television had 1 .0039 MFD capacitor in it and I had subbed it out for a .0047 MFD capacitor (which thinking upon it now probably a .0033 MFD probably would of been a little closer to the original value than the .0047 would of been.)
Anyways what is up with these oddball capacitor values in these vintage TVs? Why couldn't of they just used standard values for everything instead of using all standard values except for a couple?
