I'm new to measuring and testing caps.  Whether it's a single big pulse cap 
or a small MMC cap, what testing is "do-able" for someone with only basic 
equipment and knowledge?  I have an old analog VOM and a BK 820 capacitance 
meter.  The instructions on the back of the BK meter seem to say I can 
detect open and short conditions in a cap based on capacitance meter 
readings.  So my question is, if there's no visible sign of damage/problem 
with a cap, and if the cap seems to give the right reading on the 
capacitance meter, what else is there and can I test for it with the 
limited resources I have?

Thanks in advance!
