Capacitor Test

The radio voltage regulator capacitor connected across the heat sinks may be tested on a capacitor tester if available. Its value is .158 MFD, and 100 working volts DC. In the absence of a capacitor tester, the unit may be checked for shorts by means of an ohmmeter connected across the terminals. A reading under 20 milliohms indicates a shorted or leaking radio voltage regulator capacitor which should be replaced.
