I'm not confident that the capacitors will need replacing. There are two factors at play here.
Firstly... in the PC era a major manufacturer of capacitors had a failed run with a stolen electrolyte. That caused major issues for 5 or so years as devices failed with cap issues. That's not normal. I've got audio gear from the 70s and 80s that is running beautifully. Built long before the 2000s cap manufacturing issues. Secondly... It's normal to replace caps in valve gear... It's also normal to replace the carbon composition resistors in them as well. It turns out that components made in the 40s and 50s didn't have the longevity. My advice is to replace the belt and run the device first. Don't do work unless it's needed.
