Well.. I would. I'm probably not the best one to chime in on this one tho, as I am not overly familiar with "newer" solid state stuff. I do know that Magnavox and Zenith used those white caps in the high voltage area, which tended to fail early. However... depending on when this was taken out of daily service, if it hasn't blown up by now, I wouldn't be overly concerned. IIRC it was the Chromacolor 2 chassis that had the problems, and Zenith did a huge recall, which I WAS involved with. Those caps failed fairly early in life. In repairs on the "newer" stuff ( after 1967 ) you are basically okay with the caps that are in there. Yes.. you will get many opinions, as some spaz and do a total recap, but, those sets did NOT use the ones that early sets did, so I'd hate to have you end up doing a needless recap on EVERYTHING.
