Is there any way you can test a condenser.
#2
It's possible to test with an analogue ohmeter set on highest scale. Disconnect condenser then discharge it by grounding the terminal to which LT lead attaches. Touch red lead to terminal, black to casing, should see a small jump of needle then decay towards infinity. Hold leads in place for 20 secs. Reverse the leads and there should be a bigger jump this time, again decaying to infinity. Less than infinite resistance indicates a short.

n.b. I don't know the first thing about electricity - these are crib notes I have stored against the day when I might want to do it myself! You will find video clips on youtube if you search.
