I had my FPB300 (purchased around 1996) recapped in 2009. It started to fail again in 2018, but the first several years after recapping it sat in a box unused. After checking the cost to get it fixed again, I decided to trade it in.
I kind of regret getting rid of it because I've since gotten into DIY and I think I could have fixed it myself for not much money. The problem with this generation of Krell is that the caps used have turned out to be less reliable than they should be, at least based on the research I did a couple years ago. It's a great sounding amp when it's working though.
