Will sets left alone be worth more?

Lets face it, most of us have sets that have had chassis rebuilds..or at least had a few caps replaced. It seems we're going to come to a point in the near future where it would be hard to find sets that have been "untouched". So my question is this: Do you think that say 20 years from now a set that has never been repaired would be worth more then one that has been repaired, even if the unrepaired set doesnt work?

It just seems that soon a vintage set with the original caps still in it would be nearly impossible to find, hence making it more valuable. at least that is my little theory. The reason I ask is because I have several sets that are virtually untouched, the one in my avatar is a good example, but I know these sets wont last forever without some type of electronic restoration. I would really like to hear your opinions on this as I dont see anything like this discussed yet.
