Yes, it would be interesting to learn what the criteria were that the capacitor tester used and how it worked. I wonder it it had some sort of analog decision circuitry to determine that capacitance was within spec and voltage ratings. It could have been done with some tubes set up to trip relays when certain readings were obtained from measurements.
