Mac -
As Robert said "However, I would also claim that canned electrolytics last far longer in working sets than in ones stored in someones barn or garage waiting for a round tuit.  Which is another way 
of saying that it ought to be checked first instead of just arbitraryly tossing it."

I assume that the unit power is being brought up on a Varric or and adjustable power supply.  I had a lot of success with some of my old radios applying power slowly I set 1.5V to 2V on the power buss for at lease 24hrs using a simple Radio Shack battery holder and clips.  The whole idea I have been told is to reform the capacitors not blow a hole in the capacitor plate separator.


Have Fun
