Definitely concur with above, do not replace all the capacitors, a huge job with high risk, very few if any may actually require replacing.

Recapping (as a full blown exercise) generally refers to coupling/de-coupling paper capacitors normally found on some older valve equipment, some Electrolytics and some Tantalums.
