100% correct but we are just doing a quick test to see if the
jail bars go away. Dont unhook the old ones. Since the old
caps are probably near OK otherwise you would have servere
symtoms. We always used a 80 or 100mfd for this test.
Whatever was laying on the bench.
Even if you had a totally open say 200mfd it would make a
huge improvement & you could check the set for other problems
before giving an est.
