If you had a one of a kind set, and it was in good condition, I'd leave it alone. But, there are 70 or so CT-100s around. I would have the cabinet repaired. You will get more pleasure from a good looking set than one that is falling apart.
As for stuffing capacitors, I do it for prewar sets, since there are so few of them around. It is very time consuming, and a CT-100 would take forever. So far I've simply replaced the capacitors in the color sets I've restored (CT-100, Motorola 19CK1, Westinghouse 15 inch, Philco TV-123). If I ever get a really rare one, such as a Model 5, I'd probably stuff the caps.
