Default is it worth it to replace caps in old equalizer??

It's not uncommon for electrolytic caps to last 40 years or longer. I have
KLH table radios that are 45 years old, and still work with their original
electrolytics.

Electrolytic caps are odd -- they aren't anywhere nearly as unreliable as
you'd expect them to be.
