Re: How to test a condenser (score: 1): Author: ccrobins <ccrobins@ktc.com>; Date: Thu, 10 Dec 1998 06:39:56 -0600; Hi Barney, If you test a good condensor with an analogue ohmmeter, you'll see the needle deflect towards zero and then slowly rise until it settles at infinity. This is because the condensor is charg; /html/mgs/1998-12/msg00594.html (7,702 bytes)
