When I "did" my RCA CTC-4 last year, I removed all electrolytics from the circuits, leaving the original cans on top of the chassis for the sake of appearance. I did not re-stuff them. The next steward of the TV can do so if he/she chooses. All other caps, paper and 'lytic, were removed from the chassis and replaced with new caps. Likewise the VT-71 J in the collection.
I also, years ago, left an old cap connected when a new one was soldered in. There was a fuse in the line that saved the power xfmr when the original cap shorted.
