Unfortunately the battery is dead on my meter so I'm going to pick one up tomorrow, but I took out my Heathkit it-22 and hooked that up to the capacitor and something I've never seen before happened. It passed every time saying it wasn't shorted, but when I tested to see if it was open sometimes it would test good other times it wouldn't and then sometimes when I turn the knob the Eye tube would fluctuate back and forth a few times and then all the sudden it would read okay. If I retested it quickly the eye tube would close instantly if I waited at all It would either not close or it would take a while to close. For a control test I hooked up the multi section caps that I removed all of which tested as shorted and I hooked up a couple new ones which all tested good. I have a Heathkit C3 coming in the mail any day now but I'm pretty sure you'll have to take capacitor out to test it right?
