I really like Miles' description of a successful troubleshooting method, 
and would only offer a slight re-phrasing of his statement above:

"the most useful capacitance checker of all is the one between your ears"

I learned a lot by watching a ham and lifelong TV/radio repairman I knew 
(SK) in action, he could look at a circuit, point his finger at what was 
most likely wrong, and then make a quick measurement to confirm it.   
That's how you make a living doing it for 30 years, and while I use my 
Sprague TO-6 mostly I feel pleased when I'm able to identify a problem 
by using his approach.
