My feeling is that the repairs I make on these old sets are just another step in their history. Back in the 50's or 60's or 70's there would have been no special effort to hide new parts repaired on an old set. You may say that this is not "museum" quality, but many museums just act to preserve historical artifacts in their present state and not use them. There's nothing really wrong with that for some things, but my sets are not artifacts, they are working pieces of equipment, so I don't think it hurts to add in the modern caps. It reasures me to look at a chassis with new capacitors and wire and makes me feel this is something that is continuing, safely and effectively, its useful life.
