Closest value I have at the moment is a .48uf/250V capacitor. This will do for test purposes. What could result from using this value cap permanently? Reduced horizontal width? Stress to the horizontal circuitry? If this value cap brings the horizontal size close enough could I not go in to the service menu and tweak the horizontal size a bit?
