Hi Guys
Two cap-related points:
First, you cannot make in-circuit capacitance measurements if you expect accuracy.
Second: When it comes to assessing electrolytic health, the first step is visual. ANY sign of other-than-normal appearance tells you to replace the cap. These caps have been stressed and are likely old. Any electrolytic older than 14 years should be replaced for optimal performance.
Have fun
