I do not reform old Philco caps from 30s or 40s. Especially in view of the fact they have no capacitance left due to drying.
But caps from 50s and 60s that exhibit full capacitance I try to revive.
Especially that one from Western Electric oscillator I fixed, it was ome mil pec, it reformed to better leakage than a new cap today might have.
