Title
Reformed electrolytic capacitors
Description
All electrolytic capacitors on this part have been reformed by increasing the DC voltage up to either 58 volts or 2 volts below the maximum rating of the capacitor. None of the capacitors showed unusually large leakage or tended to lose charge quickly. It is deemed unnecessary to replace any of these capacitors. However, given the large maximum voltage of most capacitors a power up cycle using a variac is still deemed necessary.
