<< 
 Do you have a DMM?  Of any way of measuring AC Amperes? If you do, you 
 can measure capacitance. This is from an old text book and I have tested 
 it against known values with sucess. It follows:
 
 Find the Capacitive reactance: Xc=V/I  V=volts  I=Amps  Xc=Ohms
 
 Now C=159,000/(F x Xc)  F=frequency in hertz  C=capacitance in uFd
 
 Please, if anybody knows beter let me know.

David,

Thanks.  I do have a volt meter and an AC ampmeter.  Can you suggest a test
setup?
