John:

What voltage should be used to reform caps?
I've got a lot of them with label voltages between 10 and 330 V.

I have a table showing measured ESR on a bunch of caps at:
http://www.prc68.com/I/Capacitors.shtml#Tbl
On the page is also a procedure for measuring super caps

I sell a combined ESR & Capacitance meter that's made in Russia.  See:
http://www.prc68.com/I/ESRmicro.shtml
I've made a number of repairs using this meter where there was no documentation.

Have Fun,

Brooke Clarke
