If I'm not mistaken the whole reforming capacitors discussion was for
electrolitic capacitors (ie DC). The motor run capacitors are AC. I'm
not sure the reforming process would be the same (or if it is even
possible).
Anyone want to comment?

Hi
AC electrolytics can be similarly reformed, using a
current limited AC source. Many run capacitors are
electrolytic but may also be large oil and paper.
Most anything over 10 mf is probably an AC electrolytic.
