Great idea, but nobody's ever written one. That, and there are so many opinions on the subject.....they run the gamut from restuffing the old caps no matter what the set is, to component diagnosis, to testing each individual cap, to wholesale cap replacement before even plugging it into the wall.
I am of the latter. I replace every cap in the set with a higher WV before I even plug it in, if the set is older than 1960....and everything but the electrolytics before the first power up (unless the set was stored badly) in everything post 1960. Maybe it's not the way that some prefer doing it, but it's worked well for me for many years.
