   Years ago, I tossed out my NOS electros because testing them was uncovering   
   some leakage at voltage.  I don't recall the brand names if you're wondering   
   that but brand new quality caps are so cheap that it didn't make sense for me   
   to use the old ones.   
      
   For temporary work or for something that only has to last another small   
   handful of years at most?  Go ahead as long as they don't show leakage or   
   abnormal ESR.
