Re-capping A 15 Year Old Solid State Amp

.
I'm considering buying a pair of Krell FPB 750mcx monoblocks in the next 12 months. These amps are 15 years old. What type of behavior do old solid state amps exhibit when they need to be re-capped? Is there anything else that should be refurbished besides the caps in older solid state amps?

These Krell FPB series amps ran class A, very HOT. This is one reason I never went Krell. These amps burn up overtime. Having said that, they would be a incredible bargain in todays hi cost, hi-end audio world we have today. So, I say FIX'em if you can. Regards,
