Hello..my first TV

[Donj]

Hello to all.
Being a somewhat new member, this is my first post. I have been repairing/restoring radios and jukeboxes for many years but this is my first attempt at a television, so I have a few questions to get me on the right track.
First the hardware.... I picked this set up at a local auction. It is a Canadian General Electric model C2511. From the photos he posted, I believe that this is the same set that Tonyf had questions about in this post... http://www.videokarma.org/showthread.php?t=270485
The set appears to be in pretty good condition. Cabinet needs some work, but the chassis(s) look good with no rust or signs of rodent damage. The CRT (10fp4) tests good on my Sencore 465 with no shorts and an acceptable cut off voltage.
I figure that this set is a suitable candidate for restoration given the fact that I only have 30.00 invested and thanks to Mr. Covid, I'm going to be locked in the house with it for a while. I was able to obtain all print materials for this set from Radiomuseum as well as from Ronl.
I plan on replacing the electrolytics and all paper/wax capacitors to begin with which leads to my first question... must I use exact values for replacement or can I use the more modern equivalents? Such as .47 to replace a .5. I know that in most radio circuits this practice is acceptable, but never having worked on video circuitry, I just want to double check.
Once I get the capacitors done and have a chance to check resistors and make sure that everything else appears well, I will probably have some more questions prior to firing this beast up.
In the meantime, if anyone has something to add along the lines of things a beginner should know, please chime in..
