   Old Capacitors Reading Too Good!

   Hi all,   
      
   Is it advisable to change old electrolytics which are reading a   
   capacitance considerably higher than their stated value? I know they   
   vary a lot anyway, but if I have say a 480uF cap which is reading   
   640uF, should that be a concern? Does it indicate some underlying   
   issue with the cap?
