I can see your point...Of course it is best to check for weak tubes first, and I usually don't replace all electrolytics, only ones that appear bad, but I do try to replace all paper caps in pre 1960's sets. It is a lot easier to troubleshoot problems in the sets when you know you are not running into problems such as excess leakage in capacitors upseting bias voltage, etc. I also feel like the reliability of the sets are improved with new caps. In radios and amplifiers the sound quality is always improved when I get rid of those old paper caps.
