I would plan to replace the electrolytics, bumblebees (if any) and also any "maroon drop" mylar caps. This is an easy set to recap. I would go ahead and do them now, rather than monkey around with onesies and twosies and and wonder why your TV doesn't work right.
Enjoy!

Such a sharp looking set for the early 60s!!!
Tis a great privilege to work on an 11.
Good advice Phil. I need to do the same. Are the orange drops as bad as maroon?
My "low mileage" CTC11 last worked in 2008 (for Debates and the PBS election year documentaries) with no intervention other than a tube or two. But it started doing the wave so I "red-tagged" it. Flyback ran pretty cool with that big HV box
