Ugh...no sense of humor...

People had the same (flawed) philosophy about electrolytics in vintage radios 10-20 years ago. (Some still do.) Sure, go ahead, reform a 50, 60, 70 year old (or older) electrolytic. Get back with me when it fails...because it will.

Since this thread has started on a downhill slide, it is locked. That's all.
