Levi,
Everything under the chassis is pretty tight, so restuffing the electrolytics is probably easier and be cautious with component placement. When I did mine I added a 9 volt zener to the filament supply as a precaution. I also removed the 117 volt ps tube and replaced it with silicon (much less heat). The leather handle on mine was in good shape but the stitching was gone. I sewed it with some heavy nylon thread and used several coats of neetsfoot oil. Good as new. It's a fun restore. GL
