One situation where I see a high probability for the need of electrolytic capacitor replacement is the restoration of old tube radios. If I buy a tube radio at an estate sale or something, it is more likely to need power supply capacitors even than it needs tubes. Lots of 'em need both, but almost all need caps. They'll hum like they have no power supply filter at all - 'cause they really don't - the caps are bad. Swap 'em and it's quiet as a mouse. Well, not really. LOL Those old table radios always give a little gentle hum.
