Think of antique radios..something around for 70+ years..same situation. It's always nice to find something that has'nt been molested and even in this catagory there will at least been a time when the electrolytics have been changed in some (haphazard) way if anything. I'm very anal retentive about my work to an artform.. Okay, I don't restuff wax capacitors but someone that takes things to that level I won't fault them either but admire. I do restuff Philco bakelite capacitors and electrolytics...makes things so much neater and makes sense.
I also look at it this way...sometime after I'm gone or someone else owns something of mine I would not want anybody to have to "redo" my work!!
Now with what all we know about electronics, and variations/conditions of, you may understand why you never see old electronics on Antique Roadshow!!
