Importance of replacing the electrolytic capacitors in any vintage gears

[RDoc]

Quality problems can happen anywhere. In earlier years I liked HP computers, precisely because of the quality, but then I once had a motherboard from them where dozens of electrolytic capacitors were obviously defective shortly after the warranty period had expired. As such computers were still relatively expensive at the time, I went to the trouble of replacing them. After that, everything worked again for years.

To be fair to Acura, the car was over 30 years old at that point.
