On the 16, it used mylar caps. I was having trouble getting the vertical to fill the screen. Most of the 60's era sets will use mylar. The CTC-9, I believe used black beauties. They are evil and must be replaced. AES sells PC mount tube sockets. I had to replace one on my 16. I have not taken my 9 apart yet. It looks to be in overall very good condition. The most I did was soft start it and check the CRT. My other round color sets have the original parts. I did replace the lytics in the round Zenith several years ago, but I replaced the cans with exact replacement cans. Not a good move, as the cans probably were a few years old then.
With 50's era sets, all paper and electrolytics must be replaced.
As far as the 12 volt vid out tube, resolder the socket. Then again, the tube may have gone south. I still have more resoldering to do on the color board on the 16.
Thanks for the words about my site.
