You probably know this, but just for the record -- an electrolytic may look perfect but still be total junk inside. If you see one that's bulging or exploded, of course that's a bad sign. But the innards may have gone bad even if the outside doesn't shown signs of catastrophic failure. The bad electrolytics in my modulator looked fine on the outside. Only an ESR meter can tell you what's really going on in there.
