I agree with the above comments. Ceramic caps can look terrible, and still be OK. Replace the ones which are physically broken, otherwise assume they are good until you have reason to suspect otherwise. In general, they are extremely reliable.

Hi John,
No, you didn't miss it. It's the Sylvania 1-108 chassis, model 1-076. It's a 1949 model, but was made in late 1949 or early 1950.
Thanks for the feedback everyone. All the paper caps that had bubbles were bad so I was concerned that the same might hold true for the ceramics. I've worked a lot with ceramic discs, but they were more modern ones that aren't coated with wax.
Having found one that was replaced, one that was bare, and one with the coating falling apart had me nervous about the quality. I'll leave the rest alone.
John
