I would like information on preventing damage to and rejuvenate capacitors
in long term storage unused.
Xmtr & Rcvrs ( or other components) that have TRANSFORMER INPUTS by plugging
them into a variac and periodically (slowly) increasing the voltage on them.
Can that possibly damage the input transformer or other components in the
system and Can anyone suggest a time/voltage schedule to follow if the above
procedure is OK? I would appreciate any information.

Thank You
Bob
