Modern caps don't require reforming after a prolonged period of
storage in a discharged state. Don't sweat it (unless you have some
truly old caps and plan to work them close to their maximum voltage
rating).

If my question seems stupid it is because I am new to this and trying my
best to learn how to make repairs to some basic boards. OK Here goes:

I had to replace two barrel type capacitors on a control board for a pinball
machine. The capacitors were marked 470mfd35v and I replaced them with
nichion 470uf35v. I read that you had to reform capacitors when replacing
them. It that true for brand new capacitors or just used ones. Please email


Thanks for your help
