I've seen this before but DEFINITELY worth seeing again.  What amazes me is the machinery that was available at that time which allowed these radios to be mass produced!  I liked the capacitor checker which sorted by "good" & "bad".

Yes, it would be interesting to learn what the criteria were that the capacitor tester used and how it worked. I wonder it it had some sort of analog decision circuitry to determine that capacitance was within spec and voltage ratings. It could have been done with some tubes set up to trip relays when certain readings were obtained from measurements.
