The best way to test a Wax/Paper Capacitor: 1) Take it out of the equipment. 2) Hold it high above yr head, over a metal trash receptacle- 3) Drop it in said receptacle. If it goes "Bangety-bang bang, Tinkety-tink tink" or a variation thereof, it is no good. 4) Leave it there, & replace w/new one 5) Enjoy yr rejuvenated equipment !
