Hmmmm....No. I disagree.
You can get 105 centigrade rated electrolytic caps from Mouser that are light years ahead of anything they made in 1946. Cheap money, too.
Were the 'lytics that RCA used in '46 good? You bet. Are they any good now? Do you really want to roll the dice and worry about it? Plus, the micas in the hor sweep circuits are starting to fail. I habitually replace those now, too.
