Jumping or bridging electrolytic caps
You need 2 clip leads & a good cap.
Cap must be equal or greater voltage.
Since most caps dont totally open one of less mfd will work.
You are looking for a cure or vast improvement in symptoms.
"filter cans" come with one - four sections. In other words 1-4
caps in one package.
ALMOST always the negatives are tied together.
This is the outer can part. It has 4 tabs, one keyed in a circle.
The positives are inside the circle. They are marked with triangle,
half moon, square & line.
Turn set off.
One clip lead to outer ring (-). Hook to - end of your cap.
Other lead to section to be tested (+) to + of your cap.
Turn set on & see results. Turn off & remove test cap.
DISCHARGE THE CAP by shorting + to - & enjoy the spark.
Move on to other sections if needed.
With solid state sets it is important to do the discharge between tests
& the hook up while off to prevent damage.
