This article explains how to identify old caps and order replacements:

As Chris noted, you need to look under the chassis in addition to looking at the parts list. The
article shows photos of paper capacitors, electrolytics, micas, and so on.
If you have the Sams manual, that usually includes photographs of the chassis with arrows pointing to every component. That will help you match up what you see under the chassis with components in the parts list.
The basic drill is to replace electrolytics and paper caps (including plastic-coated paper caps). Leave mica and ceramic caps alone until you get the TV showing some signs of life.
