Well I think I'm done recapping.
I replaced all the paper & Bumblebees in the set, I think there was less than a dozen, Zenith used a ton of ceramic Disc caps in this set so there weren't a lot of paper type.
The main can was just replaced in 1963 so it should be OK, there is one other can filter but it's only 40@150v so I'm not going to mess with it.
There's no transformer or rectifier tube to worry about burning up if it shorts, I'm not even sure what it does, possibly something in the Vertical but that has good height and linearity.
Overall it doesn't seem to play any different then it did before I started, maybe it's more reliable after getting rid of a bunch of paper caps and replacing them with modern 630 volt jobs.
I'll probably test all the tubes before buttoning it up, the contrast is okay but doesn't go any higher than okay. There are a few non zenith tubes in it and they are all in the i.f. strip, possibly replaced when the cap was replaced, I didn't see any other repairs in the chassis
