[R-390] Capacitor tester...

[nryan at mchsi.com]

Hi, John, and welcome,

I like my Sprague Tel-Ohmike Capacitor Analyzer, model TO-6A.  I'm sure there are others that you'll hear about from the list, but you can't go wrong with the Sprague.  Who knows, maybe your luck will continue and you'll score a nice unit somewhere.

Otherwise, have fun with your new acquisitions!

I recently came into a 390 and 3 390As (I must be living right!).  I am not an experienced restorer, and I am looking forward to becoming one :-)

Question:  I have been working on equipping my workbench and I don't have a capacitor tester.  Do I want one?

I have a multimeter that measures capacitance, but I don't think it sufficient for testing old caps, especially electrolytics...am I correct?

Any suggestions?

Many thanks & 73,
John
