???Pre Amp Service???

Howdy..I have a 20+ y/o,Class A Pre Amp that has been sitting in a box for almost 3 years now..I bought it as a matched pair with power amplifier just to use the amp,so never even powered it up to check it out..Last night I unboxed & set it up to check it out for possible listing to sell..Everything works fine & it sounds simply beautiful..
My question is,are there components that wear out with age like the capacitors of a power amp that it would be a good idea to replace before selling to insure proper function in the future?
Thanks much,take care...

Simply power it ON. I don't think there are components will fail over time.

Yes thanks.I actually did set it up yesterday & it's been running for about 30 hours now with no problems..I'll just have it checked anyway by a tech for future owners peace of mind..

if it sits in a box for more than 2 years, it's typical that it will work like a charm for two nights and then disintegrate into ashes like a Mission Impossible message.
