With a set of that complexity I'd recap first (replace paper and electrolytic) and give it a controlled power-up to see where you stand. Shotgunning all resistors plus all of the caps means disturbing hundreds of connections. Many opportunities to miswire something or wreck a terminal, etc. For all you know, many those resistors don't need replacement and the TV won't play a bit differently if you change them. Once you have it up and running, you can do voltage checks, use an oscilloscope, inject signals, etc., to track down any remaining problems. Then you may decide to replace a few resistors, maybe a few mica caps, and so on.
