When I started in the TV biz in the early 70s, I replaced many hundreds of can electrics in all brands, RCAs included. Some were from the 50s but most were from the 60s.
Recently, I've restuffed cans that were fine, and every time a little investigation reveals decay in both the foil and the paper. It's actually amazing they work at all at this age.
No amount of reforming will improve the deterioration of the paper or foil or reconstitute dried electrolyte.
