[Boatanchors] Electrolytic Reforming Time

[rbethman]

I've cut open the octal R-390A caps, and by heating, got the guts out.

A few new electrolytics fit just fine.  I got some "fish paper" from a 
motor rewind shop. I use it ti line the inside of the can.  Some teflon 
tubing over the leads takes care of the rest.

I'm NOT looking to look for another power module.

Reforming isn't worth the time for the effort and odds of WHEN it goes.

If I want it to look like stock, I cut the leads to the can on top of 
the chassis, and either add a terminal strip, or place the new ones 
across the necessary place.

You can't tell that my DX-60 and HG-10 have had it done, unless you take 
it out of the cabinet and look underneath.

Those that insist on the "reformation" methodology takes their chances.
