You are also living dangerously with original electrolytics, and, those black beauty striped capacitors. I've seen them explode.
I've seen electrolytics explode, and, do other nasty things. I had one in a 9T246 that actually shorted to another section. Result. smoke for an angry resistor, and, the set still lit picture tube, but, lost all reception, and, I couldn't turn down brightness control. That circut was shorted when the cap shorted to another section.
If a filter blows, yo'll blow your resistor bank on the back of the chassis. Then what will you do??
