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.
