Re: Looking for general guidelines for Electrolytic cap replacement.

I'd say if the caps are over 20 years old, it's time to change them.

Oh, and make sure you know which way the caps go before you replace them, especially if 
you don't have the schematics.  (Or in my case, have the schematics but can't read 'em.)
