Do the coupling caps and plate load resistors need to be replaced along with the electrolytic caps? I know not everyone does this when they recap, but I was wondering if I ought to do so for an amp that has seen better days a LONG time ago! The amp is a 2275-65 head with EL34s and a 12AX7, and it has been collecting dust for some time now. I'm replacing the electrolytics, but wasn't sure how important it is to do all the others as well. Opinions?

The plate resistors should be changed(in my opinion) simpl;y due to heat. THey don't cost much and you should use metal oxide as they seem to stand the heat a little better. Mike.
