Doc B.:
It's mostly time running that wears them out. But electrolytic caps can also deteriorate just by sitting unused. If they have been getting periodic use, that is probably the best scenario for good lifespan. That said, the original caps run pretty close to their maximum rating in these amps. The refurb increases the maximum voltage rating well beyond what the caps will ever see in circuit and extends their lifetime much more. Better safe than sorry.
