Re: How to identify and test condensers?

Most of those little ignition looking condensers (capacitor) will be between 3 and 5 mfd,

You can measure these with some multi-meters.

What needs to be checked is the leakage and the multi meters can't measure that as it takes about 500 volts.

We in the electronics business say it is never the tubes that go bad but always the capacitors.
