Perhaps surprisingly, systems of that age *can* fairly literally rot. 
There were a number of Taiwanese electrolytic capacitor manufacturers 
that "borrowed" a partial recipe from a Japanese company: One that was 
unfortunately missing an important component that kept the paste from 
eating the capacitor from inside out. It often initially manifested as 
system instability.
