Rectifier tube glowing question

This is an old heathkit oscilloscope. I'm keeping it because it has sentimental value. The large can cap went and started glowing the rectifier tube.

Question: If I repair the can cap - can I still use the rectifier tube? Or is that blow once it glows?

I plan on replacing all the electrolytics and power resistors one day in the future - after I move next year.
