[Test-Equipment] Testing door knob capacitors

[Miles B. Anderson, K2CBY]

(1)	My recollection is that doorknob capacitors (which I last remember from
TV high voltage supplies) almost never failed, so I think you are paobably
safe in presuming them good.

(2)	Although it won't enable you to do a breakdown voltage test, something
like a General Radio Megohmmeter will at least let you test accurately for
leakage reistance at 500 volts or so.

(3)	If all else fails, try to find a neon sign transformer.
