Just like WA2ISE, I have a box full of removed multi-section cans. A few weeks ago, I tested them on my EICO 950. Almost every one of them had at least one open or leaky section. While the open caps are done for, the others could be reformed. Having never heard of reforming before following VK, I have RCA 721TS and 8T241 that I could try this on when I finally get to them. I also plan to fuse them pretty tightly as well!
For sets that are not what we consider "classics" and most of my 30's radios, I generally leave the old ones in, disconnect and solder new ones under the chassis. If someone has the time to refrom or restuff them in the future. At least they look original from the top.
