[Boatanchors] Capacitor Checker of Choice ??

[Rodger]

Dick,

I would vote for the ZM-11; great unit and if you don't have one already 
you will find the other functions are very useful.  Among the neat ZM-11 
design features is the high voltage for capacitor charging is developed 
from an RF oscillator power supply.  So if the capacitor shorts then the 
oscillator simply stops; thus no voltage and no fireworks.  The TO-6A is 
a nice unit but I think it pales in comparison to the ZM-11.
