Capacitor replacement question

Tubes Asylum

Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

I'm ordering parts for a circa 50's heathkit OL-10 oscilloscope.
Do I need to replace the wax covered capacitors, 0.1uf/1200v coming off a rectifier tube for the scope tube.

I would like to leave as much as possible original. And this scope isn't really being used for anything other than sentimental use.

thanks
