Absolutely use new capacitors. The yellow ones are just fine. And tubes that look bad can be as good as new. Tubes that look just like the day they came out of the box can be totally shot.
Important that you replace electrolytic capacitors, the silver ones in a can. You can always put new ones below the chassis so that the TV looks "original". Just make sure you disconnect the leads from the old capacitor and connect them to the new capacitor.
A digital camera is your friend. Take tons of pictures of the overall location of parts, many, many close up photos also. That way, you can always know what things looked like before you started. Good luck!
