Years ago, I used to "shotgun" caps as well, replacing them all.
Now, I follow Robert's advice and replace what's bad.
In my current SCR-287 BC-348, three of the micamolds have
been replaced along with one dropping resistor.
One of them failed in operation (the one that took the resistor).
All the rest are original and have been working at dynamotor
voltages for a few years now. I do expect more failures
some time or other, but I "trade off' that work vs. my
making a mess of the set by trying to trade out everything.
IMHO, "orange drops" in a WWII rig look disgusting.
YMMV, of course.
