McIntosh receiver power supply caps

Vintage Asylum

Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

I have a 25 year old MAC4280 stereo receiver.
The big supply caps look nice and clean, but when I push on the top of them they are soft like air is trapped inside the black plastic wrapping. Is this normal or should I have them replaced. I read where some folks put larger cap specs in there place. What do you think is should do?
