Yes - my experience has been the same. There are various online resources which declare this is a necessity but I’m dubious. It seems more important to make sure the caps are properly soldered and mechanically stable i.e. not hanging in space, using tubing over bare leads,etc.
I find interesting the variety of opinions on this. I’ve actually been told that replacing old caps is bad, “shotgunning” all the sixty year old caps is bad practice, recap kits are just a scam, etc. I don’t really get the antagonism in some places, not here in this forum, to people doing this.
