Just for grins I like to test some of the capacitors I replace. I also test the new caps I put in since most come from China and I like to verify they are-what-they-are. Most of the time they are fine, but I have found a couple of off-value "yellow devils" as I like to call them.

Because I want to check these under voltage I use a vintage Jackson 650A that has served me well over the years. I also have a Heathkit but I like using the Jackson a little better.
