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. 73 Zeno
