Precision vs plain capacitors???
I am getting closer and closer to going through with restorations on two of my most beloved diagnostic pieces, the Heathkit C-3 cap tester and a Hickok Model 209A V.T.V.M., milliammeter and capacitor tester.
In a small amount of research I have done I have learned of the use of "precision" type capacitors which up to this point I have never had to consider in vintage electronics. I'm just wondering if the superiority of (some brands) of new components like caps just how essential this low tolerance application really is.
Has anyone ever reworked say a capacitor tester with run of the mill caps and had good results?
