I talked to the guy I got the set from last night. He told me that he may have replaced the caps in 1970. I think he probably did when he did the tube replacement.

He said he can't believe that he forgot to put the chassis bolts back in...39 years ago....

This explains the caps issue.

Now my issue is, how well do new (1970 vintage) caps hold up.... Should I replace them again, or leave them be???

They do not get "hot" when running, only about the same temp as the massive transformer and tubes.
