the caps used in zenith sets are pretty good, esp the film caps.

the ones that give the most trouble are the single black low value electros, like 5-10uf. Not sure if your set has those, I see them in later rectangle sets.

You can change the cans if want but I generally check them, and if they test good I leave them be.

Most of the time there is a problem with dirty tube sockets, sometimes cold solder joints on video amp tubes, and maybe those .1 and .15 1kv films (again not sure as I cant test them).

Best thing to do with a zenith is to use it. That seems to keep them happy.
