I can take any of my test caps to my Heathkit IT-28 and get quick results.

Are you indicating that the eye never closes or never opens? Im confused.
Have you measured the voltage applied to the capacitor check terminals during leakage tests at all set voltages and both modes (paper/mica and electrolytic) ?
