ob, I appreciate your comment about the internet creating a problem for 
ginners.  Your observation prompts me to ask, however, what resources would 
ggest for beginners?  I subscribe to multiple reflectors and have bookmarked 
ny "how to" web sites, but volume of information does not equal quality 
formation!

hate to pile on, but just to amplify what Carl, Nick, and others have 
id, everyone should just forget about this "bring it up slowly on a 
riac" myth.  It is almost surely not going to properly reform the 
ectrolytics and is likely to have unintended consequences.   That's 
e problem with the internet - beginners have trouble separating the 
ban legends from sound technical facts and procedures.
 variac is a useful tool when used as Carl described.  (I like to add a 
ght bulb in series just for added protection), and with care, proper 
asurements, and solid-state rectifiers - can be used for in-situ 
forming.    But the only way to properly restore a piece of vintage 
ectronics is to understand first how it works, and then go through a 
stematic troubleshooting and restoration process like has been 
scribed.   Not only will you end up with a properly-functioning piece 
 gear but you'll understand how it works!
