There are different ways of reforming; I take the safer approach and reform through resistors (50K or so) while measuring the drop across the resistor. When it drops to microamps level I consider the cap reformed.
With cheaper sets or non-hi-fi equipment that is not sensitive to minor things I do it if possible; else I put new caps in or restuff the old ones.
I restuffed the 1" twistlocks on my EICO monoblocks: look original and probably has better caps inside than the originals did.
1000 uf caps - I would totally replace them as today much better quality is available.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
