Before I pop $17 from Mr. R for a new width coil for a G07, I have some other scrap chassis with some width coils to spare. Do width coils have different ratings or can I just pop another one (from a late 80s HP monitor) in its place?

For instance, 1 cap on the board is 1000uF, but the one that Bob gives me as a replacement is only 100uF. There are a few others that dont match also.
I am positive I didnt screw up with putting caps in. I am always overly careful. But even the sheet of paper that came with it says that cap so-&-so at CXXX is a XXXuF but the one already on the board says differently. Everyone makes mistakes, but I double checked and everything I did was correct thusfar.
C517 = 100uf16V
C518 = 220uf16V

if you have problems with keystoning after a rebuild, you can make them both 220U16v to help correct it...
I put the caps in, resoldered some cold joints I found and it worked perfectly and it solved the problem.
Broke the neck of the tube putting it back in the cabinet though. Game over. Thanks for the help everyone.
Nice tip Mod
