Hello all,

I am steadily working on the chassis of my 48-1262. I've replaced the paper and electrolytics and a few resistors. I am also learning a lot along the way since this is my first restoration.

I've also discovered with my Heathkit capacitor tester that all the mica caps are open. Is it likely that ALL of them are bad? I've read where they tend not to open or short, but all of mine test open.

Do I have any other options on testing the micas?

Thanks,
Terry
