I wouldn't try to reform the caps, I'd replace them, maybe restuff them. If you can see the heater in the CRT light up, it likely still has vacuum. Still need to find out if the flyback, yolk, and other unobtanium items are all good. Probably a ton of wax caps to replace...
I don't suppose the warranty is any good, even if you are the original owner and you just bought it from the store...
