So it would seem that this thing is going to need to be re-capped at least somewhere to get it functioning properly. I might as well go ahead and replace everything in one go while its apart. I've been watching some videos online of the processing being done on these older tvs and I've noticed that they use those oranges caps a lot and that what is in this tv has a different value system than modern. So, what capacitor type would be suitable and how do I properly convert to the newer values? Thank you all for the input, its greatly appreciated!

I believe in doing it in stages. First replace the horiz cap and get that circuit working properly. Unless you're experienced in restoration, you never know if another problem existed or it was caused by a mistake in component replacement.
Many on this forum don't believe in powering up an old set without using a Variac or at least, a series lamp limiter.
I'm in this line so long, I take a few more chances.
BTW, the website is the Early Television Foundation, Hilliard, Ohio.
