I have used these with no reforming and no ill effects. Operating voltage about 80% of rated...
In the eighties these used to be pretty good sounding caps, particularly in the bass. Not sure how they rate today, probably still not too shabby.
Make sure to sand down the leads with fine grit before soldering.
I do not have the schematics of the preamp (it doesn't exist anymore I'm afraid, this is a pretty rare preamp from Korn&Macway Belgo-German brand), so I don't know how much voltage goes trough the filtering caps, but the originals being rated 50v I guess the Roederstein 63v will probably see max 50% of their rated volatge, so I should be "safe"... Thanks for your comment. I do know how to solder and replace caps, but I don't have a variac here to reform them, and as long as they don't explode and create damage, I don't think I would go so far. If it sounds bad, I'll get new caps.
