Remember, you can go somewhat higher in capacitance and voltage, so, for instance, if someone doesn't have 20mfd/150v, you can use 22mfd/160v.
This model of TV is not a rare treasure, so I doubt anyone would shed tears if you install new caps whatever way is convenient, rather than restuff old cans. I restuff cans for a Veddy Veddy Special item, or if there absolutely isn't enough room for the new caps underneath. For a common, everyday set, who cares?

Yeah I'm aware of some leeway in capacitance, but the stuff on mouser was off but 100 volts or more. And I've never felt bad about increasing the voltage spec on a cap replacement, but I've never felt comfortable reducing it. My sentiments exactly on the cans.
