Snell E type ll crossover rebuild thoughts

I have an original set that I like very much. But am I missing something? They are getting old. I have rebuilt quite a few crossovers (cap replacement). Changing values, circuitry is above my skill level.
I hesitate to go the typical film route.

Has anyone performed this with success? Your advice, thoughts, cautions are as always, appreciated.

For your knowledge the E's and other Snells used SEAS woofers and other drivers. So replacements are still available today!

If the E's are working and sounding fine, leave them alone! The x-overs were built with premium parts. I have a pair of the first generation E's that I rescued from a GoodWill. They had rotted surrounds. Paid $18 + sales tax for the pair. Took out the woofers to replace with new SEAS woofers with rubber surrounds. Had a look at the x-overs. Beautiful work! So leave them alone!
