I actually pulled it and stuck it on my BK 830 it read 1.505 uf, I guess I can swap it out and see if it is failing interally, the set gets touchy generalized can tap in the region of the cap, the flyback, SCR ... will cause problems after the set has run for ~ 10 min will be worse than cold. And I tried reflowing the vertical circuit as on page 2-4 of the RCA schematic.

I've had bad solder on this and internal breaks on it. Try tapping on it.
