I agree, it may be a waste of time using NOS capacitors. Even if they test "OK" now, after some time with applied voltage, they could start to break down.

I did a test on a boatload of old NOS capacitors that were my dad's. They were from the 50s and 60s. Some actually did test OK. But after about a minute on the capacitor tester with 450 VDC on they, they started to break down and leak.

You have a nice television there. I would just try to get the correct capacitors. I know that there are some Orange Drops that may fit the bill. Not axial leads but the value is what is important here.
