I agree with most of what has been said. If you don't start with a few radios first, then this set is a fair "beginner's" TV. The CRT stays in the cabinet so you don't have to lug it around with the chassis. The chassis is big, so you have room to work. It's not a super-early set that can have completely unobtanium parts if you break something.
I photographed a lot of said details on this thread:

It's more than a year old, perhaps some of the newcomers haven't seen it.
I also have done a hundred radios and a half-dozen TV sets and have used the clipped-leads-of-the-original-capacitor trick and never had a problem. I've found that the terminal strips can be fragile, the leads are usually wrapped several times and crimped before soldering (which makes it a BEAR to desolder), and you have to put a LOT of heat into them to get the solder off. If you clip the old capacitors out as close to the cap body as possible, sand the remaining leads bright with wet-or-dry fine sandpaper (the kind that doesn't "shed" sand), 200 or 400 grit, you can tack onto them with 100% results. And you keep the heat requirements light, no melting nearby coils or other unobtanium.
I don't like to bend the leads into hooks, but rather leave the original leads straight, bend the new cap's leads into tight spirals, then slide the spirals over the straight original lead. Flow solder into the whole works and you have a tidy joint that comes apart next time with just heat (no more clipping or sanding).
I use a 500K, 2-Watt carbon resistor for discharging CRTs. Same method otherwise (flat-blade screwdriver and electrical tape).
The tube numbers on GE, RCA, etc (American) tubes are sandblast-etched into the glass and won't wash off (even when the painted labels wash off). European tubes, the tube number usually washes off too. Good way to turn a 100-dollar Telefunken or Bugle-Boy ECC83 into a 5-dollar anonymous one. So leave the foreign tubes alone. I windex my US tubes usually, to no complaints. Really helps the motivation to have some sparkling glass to look at.
Most of all, have fun, take your time, post pics, and enjoy the hobby.
