This is a good idea. It is not best to just go randomly replacing stuff. I do try to check the circuits to find specifically what is wrong when I'm fixing a TV, the information might be useful if something else goes bad later on.
But after I fix the problem, then I still go and change all the wax and paper caps even if they are good at the time. I'm hardly an authority on the subject, but I've just found on sets where I haven't replaced all these they tend to go bad after having watched the set for a while, and I just keep having to take it apart to change them later. I've never tried that method of restoring the originals though.
