I would count on replacing all of the old paper capacitors as well as the electrolytics. That's standard procedure if you want to make the TV safe and reliable to play. Here are a couple of articles to get you started. The first one explains recapping and the second describes some other restoration basics:

The next page lists a number of TV restoration articles. None of them is exactly like your set, but if you skim a couple of the B/W articles, you'll get an idea what it usually takes to get one working:
