I can't say I know for sure, but I did replace all the electrolytics on the
video control boards of both my VT101 and VT102, because there was a
definite wobble to the image on both terminals. Replacing all of them fixed
the wobble. As I have posted before, I did this after testing each
capacitor with the test equipment I have, which is just a capacitance meter
and an ESR meter, neither of which appeared to reveal a problem.

Hi all,
I have two VT100 terminals. Both of them work just fine.
Should I leave well enough alone, or is there preventative maintenance that
should be done? For instance, should capacitors be proactively replaced. In
general, I'm thinking about things that, if they fail catastrophically,
would cause collateral damage.
Thanks!
