It's paper caps mainly that have to be replaced due to age. The paper rots. Orange drops are mylar. I would only replace bad orange drops.

Eletrolytics also have age issues, however you're more likely to get away with old electrolytic caps than paper ones in my opinoin. Bear in mind vintage electrolytics were not terribly good in the first place. I would just replace them.
