You might just double check the values of those caps.
More years ago than I care to admit, I was recapping a scope that had RMA banded caps and misplaced a decimal point in the voltage rating. It worked beautifully for about a week . . . . . then pop and smoke.
My working 5 inch scope uses two .05 Mfd 3K volt and one .1 Mfd 2K volt capacitor. My spare uses similar values. Both are from the 1950s.
