I think what I will do for the time being is use the capacitor function on my DMM for capacitor value and use the load test on the Heathkit C3 too see what really goes on under more real world conditions. That is the main reason that I wanted one of the older units in the first place. I do sort of wish that I didn't jump on the first thing I saw now realizing that there are much better capacitor testers out there. Of course they would need work too most likely. I used to have a rule in that I don't want my restoration equipment to need restoring, but sometimes they just don't make things the way that they used to, so you have to adapt. Really, I like the old equipment better in certain cases; I just don't have time to rebuild everything I find, or need.
