do these typically [or ever] go bad and/or should they be replaced regardless? i'm working on a Philco 60 that has several. i'm guessing that the small ones [.00011uf and even .015uf] will be fine, but one is a double .05-.05uf, part no. 3615-AJ. the .015uf is an audio coupling cap. the rest are all bypass. they all seem to be in working order now. I've replaced all the other caps, and the radio plays well enough.
