That's impressive. But not the case most of the time. Especially with HV caps. If you can check, and know for sure it's ccapacitance is on the money, great. I can't check or change caps. If I send out a vintage piece of equipment the first thing I tell the technician is to replace all capacitors. I won't even suggest that he checked them first. Good or bad their getting replaced. Not to mention the fact that most HV caps can be upgraded. Fewer HV's @ higher capacitance. And their those metal jacket flame proof's as opposed to cardboard. Shipping the equipment is also a factor in my decision to have them replaced. I just don't trust 25+ year old capacitors.
