I think the only thing to be concerned about is drift in old caps, especially pulls. The ones I've checked have been within range, generally to the high side - eg an .015 @20% would read about .018, but I've read about some that are way off.

I've noticed no difference with voltage either, other than the space problem with some guitars.

A scope? nah, this isn't a science experiment. The BEST test bed is your ear with them in your guitar.
