I agree with mbates14. I have seen and own too many electronic devices with all or mostly original caps that work fine. There are probably a few variables besides age that determine caps life span and reliability. The popular idea of ripping all the caps out for new ones is ok if you have the money and time to rebuild television sets or if you wanted to put an old set to every day use. You can use a set with the old stuff but that way you will have to pull the chassis for repairs as they become necessary. There is something to be said for having a set that can be used for years without repair. Guess it all boils down to time and $$, or lack there of.....
