If you decide to get one of the old testers, you will want to recap and calibrate. There are instructions on the internet on how to do this with the popular brands such as Eico, Heath and Knight. I have a Knight that I rebuilt and it works well. Also an Eico, but that hasn't been gone through yet. Isn't bad to have one to check suspect 'new' caps, or to weed out a defective in a restoration with problems. Can happen even with new caps.

If I could find the place called "Somewhere", I could find "Anything" Icon_confused
