a real challange?

I'm not sure about doing only those with voltage ratings listed, but electrolytic and anything paper dialectic are going to be your primary concern. Occasionally mica types if the cap has a large DC voltage across it. But I tend to leave those unless an issue proves them defective.

I did a bit of looking and basically, the ones on the list with voltage ratings ARE the paper ones and the electrolytics, I can't say this with 100% accuracy, but it does seem to be the greater bulk of them, so I'm thinking to start with that, while doing a visual along the way for any missed.

Some of the RCA sets of that time (don't know about clones) had something like 1000-2000pF micas in the IF strip that are fairly prone to failure (which is unusual in an IF). If it won't pass video after recap it would be worth changing those.

going to have trouble with IF no matter what, due to the broken 3rd IF coil (L11) , I managed to put it back together, and it can be adjusted, but any setting on it was long lost.

It might work.
