Hi.
Yes I have been reforming caps this way for some time too.
I do it as a bit of a lash up though with it just connected to the mains
What I will do though is to use an old transformer from a scrap radio and use the HT secondary and fit a multi position switch with various values of resistors that can be switched into circuit.
I could also add in a relay fed from the heater supply so it closes when the reformer is off to discharge the cap through a resistor.
Another project for the next few years!
