It would, of course, probably make the set more reliable if you changed all the electrolytics. However, the metal can style caps are more reliable than the cardboard caps and may well operate fine for another 40 years. I will tell you that if the culprit turns out to be a faulty section of a multi-section can; then, you'd do better to change the entire can. In my younger days of TV repair, I would often get lazy and replace only the bad section of a can. More times than not, the other section(s) would fail within a week or two and come back to bite me in the butt. With that in mind, I always replace the entire multi-section can even if only one section is bad.
