When should caps be replaced?


I hear we should replace old caps in vintage equipment. But when and what are the symptoms of bad caps in vintage equipment? Other than oil leaking, what are audible symptoms?

My position is to replace caps that fail to meet their capacitance spec on a good multimeter or dedicated capacitance meter, of course if you see bulging or leakage on electrolytic capacitors, go ahead and replace them without thinking twice.
