Stewart Warner alignment issues
#12

You un-soldered it and then read it, right? not in-circuit?
Well, what kind of meter you got? capable of measuring down to 10pF or so?
What does it show when you put it on -||- and then just let the leads hang freely without touching anything?

Both my meters will show 0.1nF when unconnected.

Then you simply touch your cap (out of circuit or with one lead fully unsoldered AND without touching it with your hands as it will distort the reading considerably), and deduct whatever the meter was showing before from the reading.

Your cap is likely 110pF. If say your meter shows 0.2nF and then shows 0.31nF when touching the cap, it is good.
