I have got this set free from a collector who moved into the U.S.A. last year.

I don't want to use this set as a daily watcher, so it is my philosophy to replace only those caps in such old tv sets which are absolutely necessary. I have replaced two caps in the line output unit, but I will replace them with the original ones due to the fact that they are OK. New plastic caps do not fit in such an old device. They look horrible on the chassis.
On the bottom of the chassis I found some yellow-black caps. Are these caps original or replacements from earlier years?
