My guess is I should start looking for a broken solder and if I can't find any I should recap the filter circuit, am I right?
Only if you plan to scrap it afterwards.
Never, ever "recap" equipment.
If you find in the course of your investigations that some capacitors have failed, by all means replace them - and if you find that two of the six voices have the same capacitor faulty you may as well do the other four - but do not just go randomly ripping components out and changing them. That's a great way to ruin your gear.
Have you any reason to suspect the capacitors are in any way faulty?
