Well, I tend to replace all but micas, provided the latters don't do anything stupid.
I've just fixed the second electrolytic, dual 2x10uF. Interesting, one cap was still 12uF and another was 20uF. So one thing it did not do is to dry up.
But "the more the better" does not apply here, so I still opened it up and fixed it.
Looks like new.
Will post photos later.
