Ed I think you are full of it. I'm not sure what of. I am not sure the memory is the first to go.

I will walk from my bench to the Computer to look up a 5 digit part number, 5 feet...by the time I get there...it's gone. So now I started carrying around a pencil and scratch pad, then I forget where I put that. Some of us will be able to relate. And "NO" never smoked dope, never indulged in excess alcohol, no funny pills. I presume at 65...my wife will have to start sewing labels in my underwear, with Name/Address/Phone number. =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0Walked into the house today....when I got there...forgot what I went in for. Had to walk back into the shop to retrace my steps. Then I remembered....had to go for a "leak". =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0And to see me...I don't look that old.;-) Nice talking to you again..Bill.

Rule of thumb is any cap that reads between half scale and full scale, (all the way to the right) is probably good. Any cap that reads to the left of 50% is bad or suspect. You'll get the hang of it very quickly the more you use it. The really nice feature is you don't have to remove the capacitor from the circuit to test it.

In answer to where I bought it. I bought it at MAT Electronics from their Summer Clearance Sale catalog SS905. The salesman quoted me $49.95 and I told him it said $45.00 in the book. I think he thought I said $35.00 and he said OK.
