Brenda,
thanks for that tip; I had never heard of "corona dope" before, but a quick google search (on the correct term) reveals all.
Any idea how I would test be certain that everything is okay? I mean, I guess I can just power the instrument up and wait for the arcing to start, but maybe there are less reckless approaches?
I can guess that I won't simply be able to check resistances, because any leakage would be expected to be at high voltage. I am currently building a small HV power supply in order to test capacitor leakage, but it will only go up to 500 V, and I'm guessing that the voltage on those terminal strips is in the kV range.
