OK, this is getting weirder. I go through the manual for this thing and in the instructions for leakage testing is the following, "Electrolytic capacitors do not respond to leakage tests because they are manufactured using and electrolytic which conducts current to a limited degree. Therefore, a partial closing of the eye on LEAKAGE does not ALONE indicate a defective capacitor because an electrolytic is inherently leaky."

Now is this Knights way of saying that their almost carbon copy unit (to Heathkit C3 etc) simply isn't capable of doing an electolytic leakage test? It does bear a few circuit differences and both tubes are different than Heathkit (C3) which I use as a reference due to being very common and similar in design. If this quote from the manual is true than further bother with the issue is a waste of time and the unit will not be a keeper as the rated voltage leakage test capability is what makes these really handy today in vintage radio and TV service. The Wien bridge capacitance and resistance functions aren't accurate when compared to even cheap modern digital multi meters.

I hope someone here had had or seen one of this model Knight units in action and can tell me that they can in fact test the electrolytics.
