Funny you should mention this because I have a question about the HV caps in these sets.

Mine had one .03 and one .005, the .005 was a replacement and way off on value, I don't know how well it would have worked?.
03@6000 is not an easy value to find but I picked up a few on eBay so those are covered.

My question is about the 500Pf (.0005Mf) Horizontal caps.
.0005@6000 is also not all that easy to find but I do have some .001's, or double the value.

Does anyone think those would be OK to use in the Horizontal circuit?
What would it affect, the width of the picture?
