A reformed cap would be fine to test the radio with, but I'd be hesitant to send it to the owner with a reformed cap in it. Odds are it will eventually sit on a shelf for months between uses. New caps are pretty cheap insurance and AES has some nice Solen 10µf metalized polypropylene film caps for $6.75:
