hyde maintenance

Hey everyone.
I am working out the details on purchasing an 089 mk2 console which has probably never been recapped. Understandably it has been described by the owner as somewhat noisy which I have attributed to all the old caps. In researching the ins and outs of this console I have come across the a101 as a topic and was wondering if this should be considered a contributing factor to the noise floor?
What are the signs of a failing opamp anyhow? Noise? Dead channel? Smoke?
I have recently recapped another small console so I think I can handle doing the basic maintenance, but if this is significantly more more involved of an undertaking I hope to know ahead of time.
Originally I was going to check out the console in person and now this doesn't look like a possibility. Regardless I'm moving ahead with the deal, albeit prudently. It's not a screaming deal, or a burn. Just pretty fair market value on a console that has always caught my eye.
Does anyone have any experience with these boards they care to share?
Thanks
