My rule of thumb is; alignment is only necessary in a fully restored vintage TV if someone has previously messed with the alignment. Normally, when you replace all the caps (including the Micamold "domino" caps in the tuner and IF sections), and you have verified that everything is working correctly, the TV will fall back into good factory alignment. This may not be true for early color sets, which are VERY temperamental with chroma/bandpass alignment. If you so much as replace a tube in the color or IF section, it might knock it a bit off.
