Here's a dry run of the new copper caps. They sure are pretty

I'm thinking of using some poly film caps in parallel to make a 6.6uF @ 630 volt cap. They should last many years.

I'm finally taking some time to checkout the shadow meter. I've been dreading finding an open coil.
Well, it's not open, but it measures 5.7K. That's a lot higher than the 1.1K indicated as the correct resistance in this thread recently.
Perhaps this is an older style meter with a higher resistance ?
