I recently purchased an old GE Superradio - 7-2880b

It's a standard practice with old stereo gear that you go in and do a wholesale
replacement of all the electrolytic caps. They dry out and create noise.

When the electrolytics go, it's not really noise but rather a loud hum.
You WILL know if/when they go bad.

Is there any standard regime to expect with this old radio? Is there a refurbish due? Seems to work just great.

"Seems to work just great"?

If it ain't broke, don't fix it...
