Silly question (I think)...but would the electrolytics still go bad in an unbuilt kit?

I had heard it was time as well as operation that dries up electrolytics. I've heard of so many TVs that were fine the last time they ran, and then were stored for so many years, and then had all the various vertical, horizontal problems that come with bad caps.
