Sometimes in television oscillator circuits these values are very critical. In radio, they are not usually. Certain televisions use special compensating condensers in the horizontal oscillator circuits. One of mine uses this special temperature compensating unit of .015 MFD. The schematic says that replacing this unit with an ordinary .01 MFD condenser will necessatate readjustment of the horizontal hold control repeatedly as the set warms up.
In RF and audio work, with passing signals from one stage to the next, slight variations in capacitance is not very critical. Slight variations in certain tuned circuits (tank circuits and such) can be very critical, especially at high frequencies.
