Once you loose an irreplaceable power transformer in an early TV because of some "original" capacitor that you did not replace, you may change your mind!!! Personally, I would rather have a working set with some non-original caps than something that can only be a display item.

If it was built before 1960, I replace all paper and electrolytic caps. I tried leaving an original paper capacitor which had all of 4 volts on it in a 1953 Emerson that I restored. Sure enough the AGC began giving troubles and replacing this capacitor fixed it.
