May as well replace them as long as you are at it.  It's only an extra
few minutes while your soldering iron is sitll hot and there's a little
bit left on your solder-wick roll!

I distinctly recall replacing some pink tubular caps in my HP 606A
generator to get the modulator circuitry working.  Not sure if they were
C-D's or not.
