measure the C, if the C is within spec., mark the actual value and 
measure the leakage current after reforming.  Leakage current should be 
under roughly 300uA.

Digi-Key and Mouser carry the critters, and they reportedly ship promptly 
on foreign phoned-in orders paid by VISA.  .   Mouser 1 800 346 6873,   
DigiKey 1 800 344 4539. 
-   Due to electrolytic design improvement, more C is currently available 
in the same case size.  Heath was not known for going overboard on filter 
capacitance, so a bit more would be good.  .
