If they've been sitting, chances are they have dried up.
As far as "reforming" I really only perform this procedure if the set is less than 40 years old, and for testing purposes. As far as reliability, forget it. Reforming should only be used to see if a piece will function, and even then its risky.
Its better to protect your investment and spend the money to replace the caps rather than attempt to use the originals. Its not a matter of if your NOS parts will fail, its just a matter of when and how much destruction it will cause.
If you want to keep the stock look, leave the cans in place, and just disconnect the leads from them. Then add new electrolytic caps under the chassis. You can also get replacement cans from tubesandmore.com however they are costly ~$30 each
