if you are new to pcb work, be warned, these are very early pcb and do not take well to rough handling. You want to use a 25watt or so soldering iron (never a gun) and I find solder wick very helpful to remove excess solder. The upside is its hard to goof with wiring since you just remove and replace one at a time on pcb. I generally go with higher voltage ratings as they often fit better (old cap were quite large in comparison to new stuff).
The point to point wiring esp around the chroma is pretty tight at times. I suggest you use the utmost care when dealing with that part. Its easy to brake off tabs from the tube sockets, coils, etc.. from too much heat and rough handling.
It is for that reason that I generally pig tail the connections choosing not to try and remove the old wires from the delicate tabs. This is esp true when you have several thick wire parts solder to a singe hard to get at tube socket. I know some folks frown on pig tails but done well they work fine, just make sure the old wire is clean so the solder will wick into the joint, just like any other solder joint.
