See if yours has that cap.

Thanks for the tip... That's neat you used to work for a dealership back then.
I checked, and no electrolytics on the PC board anywhere.
Just two large multi cans below...I just ordered all new ones today.
Cleaned up the heavy polished brass control plate and knobs...
It was this cool looking plate that made me think the set was from the 50's. Seemed to me that by '63, they were cutting back on such serious detail on sets...
The other thing is I can't find is a schematic for this set:
the tag from the CRT has the model# 1668
and the Chassis# 549C-566B
but I can't find either on the Sam's website, or anywhere else?
Actually Sam's has an Emerson 1668, but in the tiny photo, it looks like a completely different set, so I'm just not sure.
