Gerry, in one of the tips they refer to CX3418 and call it a 470pf in the other one they cal lit C3418 and call it the filter for the 18v rail I don't believe the tips are written by Zenith tech writers. I think they are submitted by TV techs in the field. I know a lot of TV techs whose spelling accuracy leaves a lot to be desired. So I tend to think they are one and the same. Tip also says they are not being biased properly through the diodes and claims that C3418 filter was leaky. I would suspect leaky diodes, myself. If you would like a schematic, I can scan the relevant parts and send them if I have it.
