Hmmm... could you please direct me to Mr C?? I couldn't find him online; my google-fu must be rusty.
And, what does the foil side of a capacitor sound like?? Versus the other side?? I'd have to try that, although I don't own a vacuum tube guitar or bass amp (not yet, anyway).
Thanks.

Yep been a Mr C fan for a while.? He designed a neat little rig that checks for foil side of a cap.? I think my second build ever.? Works great.? I even took apart a few spare modern caps to see if the the Mr C?SIFT works and it does.
The old 'Amp' test is one that works as well.? Plug the cap into a guitar amp crank up the volume and you can hear the foil side.
