the ones that failed.
These spares, though unused, are probably 40 years old. Will they need re-
forming gradually over 24hrs before installing?

Reforming is a fool's game.
They either work to being with or they're bad.
That size isn't cheap, but if you buy new ones, that's the end of your
repair.
