Should I
Have a 30 plus year old Rowland model 5 amp. Should I recap even though it works fine?
If this is your main system amp, then yes, I would recap for reliability and hopefully better sound. Jerry
I'd call Roland and get their thoughts.
I'd send unit to a pro and let them check everything, would not replace anything still within oem specs.
There are a minimum of 26 aluminum electrolytics (that I know of) in your amp's critical circuitry.
Thirty years is stretching it, regardless of that type capacitor's original build quality, or country of origin.
No, don't do it. If you want to tinker try a new amp.
