Capacitor question

[tubesrule]

Both the axial yellow and radial orange caps are available in polyester and polypropylene types. Polyester is a general purpose type while polypropylene is used in higher current pulse applications. The polypropylene types will be slightly larger, usually have thicker leads and cost more. There is really no reason for them in a television application as the polyester types are far superior to the original paper caps. Even in pulse circuits like the horizontal output, they used paper caps originally, so polyesters will work fine.
