S/C Chinese Classic

Been working on my Stromburg-Carlson Chinese Classic for the past week. Got it pretty much black beauty and paper recapped. Removed and replaced over 30 of those buggers. Have to replace a can and 4 electrolytic capacitors next.

Should the ceramic and mica caps be replaced also? Even though they might test good?

On a related note there is a Micamold brand capacitor that looks like a mica but is actually paper! I have seen these in a 1946 Magnavox console radio...they can be bad just like the usual paper caps.
