Unless you know for certain that there is a problem with a component,
leave it alone.

Don't just start ripping out and replacing electrolytic capacitors on a
whim.  They almost never fail.

I've had to scrap a couple of rather valuable analogue synths that have
been brought to me after particularly hamfisted attempts at "re-capping"
them.  I have no idea why people think that every fault must be caused
by these mysterious "caps", but my policy now is that if anyone even
mentions "re-capping" it goes in the bin.
