I usually replace tantalum capacitors when recapping a radio since they are an electrolytic capacitor. I never replace ceramic unless faulty. However, I noticed my recap kit had no tants, only aluminum. I understand that radios made during the infancy of tantalum capacitors may develop faults due to early manufacturing process issues or electrolyte composition. I'm curious if anyone else routinely replaces tants as part of their recap course.
