Its usually best to start a project with some kind of baseline so you know iif what you do is helping or hurting.

Bringing the set up slowly on a Varied or a dim bulb tester will give you some idea if the set is completely dead or has any major shorts that need to be dealt with.

You will need to do a complete recap, including some 6000volt film caps, however I wouldn't jump right in and replace them all without the slow startup. Also take lots of clear chassis photos, this will help when you forget where something was connected.

When you do recap, start with the electrolytics, then the 6000 volt caps, then the rest.
