[Old Capacitors]

I respect everyone's opinion and perspective, and meant no malice to Dave A with my question. 

 

While exploring crossover options for my Fortes I've come across many posts on this site regarding capacitors and I am trying to learn as much as I can. 

 

Thank you everyone for the replies and lively discussion.

[Old Capacitors]

Hello all,

I've been a member of the forum for a while, and this is my first posting. I don't have an electrical technical background, however I hope this question is not too elementary.

Serious question inspired by a listing in "Garage Sales."

 

What value are old capacitors if the are recommendations to replace them as they age?

 

Thank you
Steve
