Well it arrived today, it was impossible to read the lettering, so a quick clean, and a bit of Tippex rubbed into the recessed
lettering to make it readable, (I will do a proper job, when it has been tested.)
First job is to replace the mains flex, at the moment, this a piece of two core clear wire, that is just slightly thicker than speaker wire,
similar to the type that used to be fitted to table lamps years ago, the electrolytic rated 16uf seems a recent replacement, so that should
hopefully be ok, the other seems a bit older, no maker, just says metalised 1uf + or - 25% 250V DC,
So will test it with my new ESR meter (thanks David).
The magic eye is indeed an EM34, the other is a 6H6G double diode, so presume this is used as a rectifier.
So for the numpty question, will this be suitable for testing caps under load? and if it is, how do I drive it?
