What was the "bad condition"?

Did you replace them with the same type?

In general recapping in 30 years old synths is not required beside a few 
exceptions: 1.) Tantalum capacitors. 2.) Caps in the power supply, if 
they are close to the regulators heat sinks.

Recapping of the audiopath makes sense in large professional mixing 
consoles, which ran continously for 30 years 24/7 without beeing 
switched off. In these consoles the continuous heat inside the console 
can dry out the capacitors. But a synth usually never "lives" under such 
conditions.
