What I mean is that this picture tube doesn't have the 2nd anode suction cup thingy that most CRT TVs have is what I mean.

Anyways This TV has a 4 MFD 50 Volt Electrolytic Capacitor in the circuit and I was wondering if a 6.8 MFD 50 Volt electrolytic capacitor would be a good replacement for that capacitor, I'm curious because I don't have any 4.7 MFD 50 Volt Electrolytics in my capacitor stash and the only 4.7 MFD 50 Volt Electrolytic capacitor that Radio Shack has is an axial leaded one which I wouldn't think that using an axial leaded Electrolytic capacitor with one side exposed would be very safe without having some sort of shrink wraping over it so that it doesn't arc against something else in the TV.
