Does anyone have a recommend on a Capacitance tester? Years ago I had a hand held unit I used for checking starter Caps on water well pumps and Air conditioners. Someone borrowed it, and I never saw it again. I understand that one of the "Box" type is better for our radio cap testing, because they are capable to test caps at a higher breakdown voltage. Any thoughts on a reliable brand. I would suspect that they are prolly very much alike inside, just different trim...
Thanks
