Chris,
I have an idea that might be less painful than the way you're trying to go about this. Identify the circuit location on each of the old caps as you remove them. After you have the TV working with new caps, you can experiment with putting the old ones back, one at a time. Then you can evaluate how they influence the operation. It will be easier to do once you have a working base line. You could even keep a spare chassis on the bench just for experimentation. The more you measure voltages and look at waveforms on your scope the easier it will become to wrap you head around how the circuits interact with leaky or out of tolerance components.
