Deflection yoke mica cap

[Phil Nelson]

I normally replace mica with mica. Perhaps the 1500DC means rated for 1.5KV. Caps in horizontal circuits can take a beating, so you can't go wrong by using a healthy voltage rating.

I'd be inclined to leave it alone for now and revisit the cap if your set later has problems with width, etc.

I think that is EXACTLY what I am going to do. THX! Plus I think I had trouble finding a mica rated at 47 pf that was at or above 1.5kV.

Funny, my other admiral console has too much width and I cannot shrink it down. Width control maxed out on back. I did not replace the resistors or mica in that deflection yoke. Maybe I should. All other caps and resistors replaced in that set.
