The next time you run it for an hour or more, shut it off and then feel those filter caps. If they are really warm to the touch, change them. If they are about the same temp as the surrounding chassis I wouldn't worry about them. I would echo Eric's warning about B+ being on those cans.

My experience is that electrolytics from the 60s are still good most of the time, but their time is running out.
