I spent a few hours this afternoon trying to reform a dual 40mfd @450 from the 1948 set I'm currently working on. I was able to eliminate leakage but there's another problem I've encountered before. The capacitance is a small fraction of what it should be. I figure the electrolyte has broken down and it's just not doing it's job properly.

So I'm curious - when you guys reform them are you also checking the capacitance and is it within spec ?
