[TCML] Found a nice mica cap and want to test it

[Nick Andrews <nicothefabulous@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

So I stopped at The Black Hole in Los Alamos yesterday on the way out of town for the first time.  A treasure trove for junk, I mean electronics, people.  I found a few radiation items and a nice Sangamo mica cap, rated 008uF, 12kV, max 37A @ 1000kcps.  $50 for the cap, a large piece of scintillation plastic and a scintillation probe is pretty cheap!  Are the little cheapo LCR meters from ebay really good enough to give an accurate capacitance test for these types of caps?  Mine shows 0085uF vs nameplate 008.  Pretty close.
