All original SDA SRS "Blades" - best ways to refresh them?

They are in perfect mechanical condition but the crossover components are original and I suspect some of caps are gone. I read the excellent upgrade write up by "trumpeterman" here:

It seems that all the other component types - resistors, coils, do not degrade with time. Looking for recommended brands for the caps? Any other refresh items? I read that maybe the blade style SDA cable is a weak point as well. When I first got the speakers I cleaned the cable connector points and the terminal connections inside the cabinet.

Inductor coils may not go bad, that being said many of us found great improvement using tighter matched perfect lay Jantzen audio inductors and C-coils for the SDA inductor.
