There are a couple of different opinions out there as to whether or not an old TV chassis should be totally recapped. I personally think/thought you should, and have been practicing what I preach for years. But I recently opened up a 1958 RCA and was surprised to see that most of the original caps were orange drops. So, for the first time, I'm tempted to leave them alone and hope for the best (I'm still going to put in new electrolytics).
So, what I'm wondering about is: Will these "old" orange drops be reliable?
