Whilst it is not a bad idea to replace en masse all the wax paper caps in the timebases and power stages I would thoroughly recommend you don't change anything in the HF stages until you have run it up and seen the performance. I saw one of these recently where someone had changed all the RF caps together when most of them would probably have been OK, and the thing was so far off tune it picked up nothing and now needs complete realignment.
