Electronic Noise Suppressor: Testing and Inspection

CAPACITOR
The radio voltage regulator capacitor connected across the heat sinks may be tested on a capacitor tester if available. Its value is 0.158 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 milli-ohms indicates a shorted or leaking radio voltage regulator capacitor which should be replaced.
