Hi Charlie,

It was a too nice of a deal to pass up. I have a Eico 650-B, I believe 
the part number is. It works great at reforming caps and I calibrated 
the pointer so it shows darn close on cap values too. This Heathkit cap 
tester looks darn similar and is in really nice physical shape. I can 
never pass up a deal on something cool and useful.

Hop in the car or truck and head over to Dayton. Paul is on his way 
later this week. I'll be here thru Sunday.

Mike
