For best reliabilty especially in equipment that runs a lot...we like to change all electrolytics more than 35 yrs old or so. An ESR meter is also a good tool to check electrolytics and I would recommend checking ESR so you can spot marginal caps if you don't replace them all.
Have had one too many cases of shorted electrolytics to trust old electrolytics too much.
