IMHO start by bringing the set up slow before doing
any other work. Only do what you need to get some
kind of picture to be sure the CRT is still good.
After that you can recap a FEW at a time testing in between.
Start with electrolytics. Dont change disc caps unless cracked,
they rarely go bad.

Many resistors check bad in circuit, usually low unless an
electrolytic is involved. Keep in mind:
carbon resistors rarely go down in value much.
high values tend to go bad more often.
big wire wound resistors are either good or wide open.
ALWAYS use the same type to replace. ( or film for carbons).

Zeniths almost always come to life easily. They are the best
to learn on & are almost immortal. Good luck with her.
