Re: Capacitance Meter

There are a lot of cheap meters that will tell you the capacitance. That is the easy part. You can also use a cheaper meter to test for shorts, if you know what you are looking for in the spikes. That is where I find about half the condensors I test fail.

The Mercotronics and Stevens testers make all that very easy, if you can find one. I would consider 25 bucks for that one meter I posted pretty cheap for what you get. You can get Mercotronics anywhere from about 50 bucks to 200 depending on condition.
