Thoughts on Capacitor Testers
#7

I have an EICO 950 cap & resistance bridge and use it to check leakage on new & old electrolytics up to 500V. Worth having but be prepared to restore a purchase off eBay. Also have a digital cap tester purchased from AES for about $40.Use it to test caps before installing. I also tried a Heathkit in-circuit cap tester but found it unreliable. Cap testers are not necessary,just a supplement.I replace all paper caps and most high voltage electrolytics w/o testing.
