Bull****....

** Loss of capacitance and high ESR derive from the same cause - the gradual loss of electrolyte. But ESR rises fist and capacitance much later.

If ESR is good, then there is plenty of electrolyte and so C must be good also.


Just because *you* haven't see one doesn't make it true.

** Very few people have ever seen an example that geos the other way, bout the same number who have seen real Martians.

My advice is solid, only a raving nut case would REMOVE every electro from circuit in order to test the C value when the * in circuit* ESR reading was good.

Do you ?
