I've *never* done this.
Never had any caps blow on me, either, excepting two occasions I can think
of where they'd been wired in backwards, one of those being a cathode bypass
cap in a Leslie amplifier and the other one being a tantalum cap in some gear
this other guy was working on.
For whatever that's worth.

Note of caution do not try to turn it on. The power supplies will
need some work. You need to reform/replace any electrolytics.
11/750s aren't that old (early 80s), and shouldn't need reforming. It
