We can agree to disagree.
In my experience this stand is quite the majority in Europe that you should replace the ones that are faulty. In the States it is quite the opposite. You like throwing money out of the window we do not.
One of the best professional restorer measured the caps in mine during the service and found them to be close to as new and perfectly within specifications and strongly recommended against replacement.
I have accepted his recommendation and saved 100s of dollars and have been running the unit rather happily without the slightest issue with it for years.
