    -40 to +85% only 30 odd years ago in many instances... Other than bipolar caps in speaker crossovers electrolytics are not used for anything where tolerance even matters. They are normally chosen just to have "more than sufficient" capacitance for the job...

    The biggest issue with recapping is you need to match other params like ESR as well. You cannot just sprinkle your favorite cap all over the place

    I did mine a couple of years ago, but I am still not 100% sure I did not screw something up.
