As I have mentioned before, the RCA sets made from the late forties used excellent quality electrolytics. I have restored and have in my collection 5 pre 1950 RCA sets and found only one bad electrolytic. I posted earlier in 2020 the restoration of my 1947 RCA 721TS with all it's original electrolytics and it is fine in 2024 after more than 1000 hours. I would let it run for an hour, switch it off and grab each electrolytic can in your hand. If it is hot, only then would I consider replacing it.
