   It has been my experience that electrolytic caps of a certain age are as   
   likely to fail just sitting on a shelf as in service. I suggest you purchase   
   modern, fresh caps of the proper size, voltage and style from a reputable   
   source made by a reputable    
   manufacturer. Why risk it?
