Nice find !!
and . . . . . go ahead and be BOLD.

I've had an HT-33A, and HT-37, and HT-40 for many years now - - - all still 
with their original caps, and yet performing as they should.  Just make sure 
you bring it up to speed very slowly, starting 40-50v, giving those sleepy caps 
time to wake up, rejuvenate and reform.

Good luck, and have fun with the new Hallicrafters toy.
