Should I


Have a 30 plus year old Rowland model 5 amp.  Should I recap even though it works fine?

Capacitors can fail suddenly, and spectacularly.  That can cause damage to other components, not excluding speakers.  These amps run hot and after 30 years the caps will be well cooked, dried out and ready to blow.

Why not take it back to Rowland and have them re-cap it
