Re: Testing for leaky caps
In general you cannot test caps in circuit due the effect of parallel paths (resistors, inductors, transistors, etc) that would make the cap appear to be leaky. If it's a valve circuit and you can see from the schematic that there are no parallel paths, then that's ok. But in general I tend to avoid testing in circuit. It just a case of lifting one end of the cap.
