Add another to the chorus of those saying "Recap now!"
I had a number of different machines that were working great and showed no outward signs of leaking (that I could see) and I kept thinking that I really should get them recapped just to stay on the safe side. A few I managed to catch before they were toast, others worked great right up until they suddenly didn't power up anymore and the boards were in really bad shape at that point. With these machines it's ALWAYS better to err on the side of caution, especially with the number of folks here who are really great at preventing these from biting the dust, and in some cases bringing them back from the dead.
