Questions about electric components

Post by Professor Jones »

Hey,

I'm planning the recapping of my CRT (KV-21C5B), and I've just finished listing all the parts that I will replace. Three questions came up while I was doing this :

- 2 caps have the same value (33 uf, 160v) but have different sizes. One is 2cm high and has a 1 cm diameter, and the other one is more bulky : 3 cm high and 2,5 cm diameter. What gives ?

- I noticed that one inductor had some kind of sticky stuff on top of it (https://photos.app.goo.gl/asGtWtjHvapdiSEx5). Should I bother changing it ?

- One cap is listed as ceramic in the service manual but in the TV it's a poly one that's installed, and it looks deformed. Would it be a good idea to replace it with a ceramic one ?

Thanks !
