Screwy Admiral 19A11 recap job
Admiral 19A11 I picked up recently had some vertical linearity issues, so even though the HV deflection caps in the set appeared to be relatively new, I figured I'd start there. This set had been (mostly) recapped and was working when I got it. In fact, it works pretty well, aside from a low volume issue.
But here's the weird thing..... Two of the caps for the horizontal deflection were disc caps, but the other three .005 6kV caps were replaced with .01 uF @ 10KV caps!  Now, never knowing WHY the last tech did what they did, here's a shot of this section in the underside of the chassis. Can anyone think offhand of a good reason to substitute these cap values? As in, some part change that required these capacitance values?
