[Boatanchors] Replace the caps Capacitance meter / tester

[RJ Mattson]

Why buy a tester for ~50 year old caps?
Replace all the filter, bypass and decoupling caps.
Tighten all the hardware screws on the tube sockets and chassis.
Check all the carbon resistor values.
You will be back on the air much faster and longer than assuming you
found one bad cap with a tester.
Also, 6146B's work fb in all my restored DX-100(B)'s.

What's the current consensus for a really good capacitance tester /
meter, for testing capacitors in these old boat anchors?
Thanks...
