Thanks, everyone, for your replies so far. I guess I'm in agreement with blue_lateral in that the orange drops should only be replaced if they're bad. I've always assumed that the reason to replace old wax/paper caps and old electrolytics is that, due to the way in which they were made, they were inferior and simply didn't last. In contrast, some of the newer capacitors (orange drops, polyesters, etc.) are superior in fabrication and have a much longer shelf life.
