Yes. ?I ruled out the second and third things shown below leaving possible moisture contamination. ?I tried desiccant but it didn't completely fix the problem. ?I would like to have more confidence that it will pass calibration before sending it in. ?I have a couple of meters that pass the circuit check and have a steady needle on all ranges, but that doesn't guarantee they can be calibrated. ?Maybe I'm mistaken but I doubt a meter with a drifting or erratic needle will pass.?
Looking at the John E Fast cap it appears to have a porous ceramic casing, so I was curious if anyone was aware of a problem with those capacitors before swapping them out.
