It is always a good idea to replace electrolytic capacitors in power supplies.
The rest of the advice is sound.

Rich,
Can you please clarify if this statement represents the policy of the Living
Computer Museum or is it something more personal? Perhaps some qualification
or a re-phrasing would be useful as it does not appear to make sense as it
stands?
I think you may have seen or participated in some of the many discussions we
have had on this topic on this list? In light of these discussions, I find it
hard to see how a categorical statement such as this one could be justified.

Peter Coghlan.
