Hey guys, another update for ya. I replaced all the bad caps in the main TV unit. Some of the large caps where fine so I left them, and the really tiny 1uf caps because they where fine.
Got it powered on using a 16v 4A laptop charger as I heard these run better with a little more juice, also its all I had that could supply enough amps.
The TV powered on no issues, no smoke. A white raster appeared and then got squished on the edges (see pic). None of the buttons do anything but I expected that being there's no diversity unit hooked up. Slightly concerned about the weird raster distortion, it's exactly like what you can see in this helpful video at 20:45

Hoping that with a video signal the distortion will go away.
