[ARC5] A question...

[Dennis Monticelli]

This is what I do with caps during the initial checkout of an ARC-5
receiver:

I unscrew the chassis connection for all bathtub caps and slip a business
care between the cap under test and the chassis wall prevent electrical
contact.  Then I test each cap individually for leakage vs voltage.  Based
upon that assessment I know how much voltage that particular receiver can
handle and which caps (if any) need replacing.
