"Even top quality amps get old. As they age, their big power capacitors dry out and go bad."

Never knew they were liquid filled? But I guess its highly possible

electrolytics can go bad after years and years of use, but honestly they're just caps anyway and easily replaced on the older solid state amps like those old RF and Orion and PPI ones.
Not like more modern SMT boards that are a bit harder to repair on a home bench.
