The GenRad calls the ESR rating "Q". I look at that,
and the rated capacitance. The Heathkit IT-28 is responsible
for the leakage test, and is the only one that puts significant
voltage on the cap. I always start there, and if it passes that
test then I'll throw it on one of the good bridge test
Thanks, Hope you found it useful.
With a bit of practice you can lay down a "stack of dimes" TIG weld with
it.. [OK.. maybe a "lot of practice".. haha.. ]
Pretty TIG welds are a function of hand eye coordination that can only come
from practice.. measured in inches of weld laid down... I've been

What I'd love to have now is a TIG welder. It seems their prices
