I'd say, restuff the backelites - it's not hard, and reserve the tubulars for future projects where you need some caps to look naturally.
Or if you choose not to restuff (it's not very dirty job but could be somewhat dirty if you do it for the first time and have not read how other folks learned to not get dirty - there is a thread here about that) - bite off the wires coming from inside of them to the lugs and then use them as solder posts to place new tubular caps over. Don't simply parallel the new caps to old.
The tin can caps are easy to do, but again - if you choose the easy path, you could just use new ones and cut off the old ones.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
