That would be awesome - what I am doing is recapping my big RCA Theatre amplifiers, and I want to see if the original paper in oil filter caps are still good (they do work well and don't get warm), I also want to test a bunch of old stock USSR made paper in oil caps I just ordered on eBay before I use them. They're 25 years old, not 65, hermetically sealed, and they look fantastic, like old spragues or pyramid oil caps, but I just don't trust them without some pre-use testing.
