I have a pile of NOS or gently used can caps but I don't know why I save them. I just don't trust them. Some people do swear by reforming but I've never given it a good effort.

I used to be of the "wait and see" camp when it came to recapping but now I use the shotgun approach. I've learned that the vertical circuit, in particular, is never going to behave with those old caps in there.

A couple times there has been a set in my collection that I used with no problems & I assumed I had already recapped it fully...then I discovered that few if any had been replaced. When you get too many TV sets you kinda forget what is done!
