Default Old fittings or new when changing wire

We have an Adams35 cruising yacht, cutter rig of unknown rig age (most likely 10 to 15 yo) that has been Sydney based for most of its life, and sitting on a mooring for almost a decade. We have nearly completed the restoration and now need to look at the rig. Replacing the wire is a obvious step in the near future, but should we replace the ronstan sealoc turnbuckles on the ends (8mm wire on #10 sealoc's) ?

Visually they look OK and the threads run smooth on all but two and I can not access the one under the furler (unknown brand).

Regards

Mick
