If nobody has the service manual on hand, you can order one from http://www.samswebsite.com/ .

This article has info about identifying old capacitors, including a chart that explains the "bumblebee" color codes:

Your TV already works so well that you are likely to have a great watcher if you can avoid making mistakes while recapping. Instead of replacing many caps at once, I would try the set frequently -- after every replacement or two -- to make sure that you didn't make a flub which suddenly made things worse.

Remember the old doctor's motto: "Above all else, do no harm."

This article has some more basic restoration info that you may find useful:

Have fun,
