Most tube gear don't have model specific cap kits. Bob's capacitor does sell a generic $20 kit with 5-10 of each commonly used value in most radios.
If you do a good amount of tube repair you'll find it is cheaper and easier to go on Mouser, Allied, and or Digikey order up ~25-100 of each value of paper cap in 630V rating, a good assortment of lytics, store them in a small hardware organizing drawer case in a sorted manner and keep a stock.
I never have to take stock of the number of caps in a set (unless I'm quoting a customer a parts cost) or make a small order....Also most of the big parts houses cut you BIG discounts on bulk orders....Add to that the $10-30 fixed shipping cost is a smaller percent of the total order cost when you make a $1-200 bulk order (you could save $100 on shipping alone just by ordering 10 sets worth of caps at once instead of in 10 separate orders).
When you've worked on as many tube TVs+radios as I have you get a feel for what values go fast and what you can keep smaller stock of.
