I did a test on a boatload of old NOS capacitors that were my dad's. They were from the 50s and 60s. Some actually did test OK. But after about a minute on the capacitor tester with 450 VDC on they, they started to break down and leak.

You have a nice television there. I would just try to get the correct capacitors. I know that there are some Orange Drops that may fit the bill. Not axial leads but the value is what is important here.

Good to know about those vintage caps, that was exactly what I thought might happen after some voltage was applied to them.
I don't know why I even bothered getting any...Oh well, had to learn sometime!
