Hi folks- If an electrolytic measures slightly over it's rated value
with a trusted meter, would you consider this cap bad thus replace it
? For example, if a 100uf measures 107uf, does that mean the cap is
drying out and must be replaced ? Thanks

Not at all. Most electrolytics have a tolerance of at least 20%.
This means that 107uf is well within spec for a 100uf cap.


Plus, most cheap multimeters or only about %10 tolerance on their
measurements.
