If a capacitor is faulty there will be a symptom. If there weren't symptoms then they wouldn't do anything. Nothing in this discussion has indicated to the uninitiated what those capacitors are there for.

If you took your car to a shop and the diagnosis for a "coast down stall" (dirty throttle plate) was "replace all parts" would you continue?

For the fellow who is thinking about a modern radio consider my suggestion about installing and auxilliary input. That might be a good test about whether one of these radio experts knows what he's talking about.

For example:

"Hey could you put an auxiliary input into my radio so I can play an FM protable or CD player? AM doesn't have enough trash on the airwaves."

If they answer is they don't have a clue then shop somewhere else.
