Hi Mike

I agree with you, if I were restoring something a bit special (thinks, must finish my AD36), I would go to the trouble of hiding new caps in the old ones, resistors I would just use new 2W, so they look better.
Mains dropper, smoothing caps etc I would try to repair/repack, or use new components as discreetly as possible.

Richard.
