I think that 450V caps will be fine, as the new caps handle voltage better.
BUT... you might want to actually measure the V present there to be sure. Since house voltage is now in the 120-125V range the actual V present may be much higher than what is was using 110 or 115V that the set was designed for.
The solution IF this is true is to either use 500V or 600V caps OR use a system to reduce the voltage going into your set to 110-115V.
