Re: First light with 833 tube coil, then silence

With HV caps a digital capacitance test is not the proper way to detect failure.

You need to bring the cap up to around 1 kV to 5 kV and carefully monitor the leakage current with a 1 mA DC meter."

WITH A SUITABLY LARGE SERIES RESISTOR TO PROTECT THE METER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
