Why would you want to replace the oil capacitors anyways?

They are still good. They have lasted 60 years and they will undoubtedly
outlast us both.

Leave it for the next generation who will neither be able to read or write
anyways.

I noticed some concern as to the possibility (let's not put it any stronger
than that) of PCB's (polychlorinated biphenyls) being used in the oil
filled capacitors of RCA AR88's. I have 2 such sets, one of which is
weeping like a baby. I intend to replace the old capacitors with modern
equivalents inside the old cans. Is it really likely to be PCB fluid? If
so, how to safely drain, dispose and clean up the dripped fluid without
wiping out much of Western Europe (or at least myself).
