RE: Kinda up to you.

Do it. You're in southern California - should be very easy to find a tech to do it, and shouldn't be costly. If one cap leaks, it's very likely all the 'lytics need replacing. It just doesn't make any sense to run it with bad caps. At best, you're not hearing what it can really do; at worst, you'll turn it on one day for some quiet listening, hear a loud pop, then silence. I wouldn't pursue anything with the seller, unless (s)he said "Everything has been replaced inside." It is a 55-year-old piece of gear that, as you said, looks and sounds good.

BTW, you might also start accumulating spare tubes. There are 20 of 'em in there, and tubes *do* go bad, often without warning.

Good luck.
