A little while ago I posted to find out if anyone did some recent
testing on the 942 caps.
There was no response, so I decided to sacrifice 5 of my 942s for
the cause. (In the mean time I found that Terry Fritz tested one of
these caps back in 2001
http://www.tb3.com/tesla/capacitors/GeekCaps.htm)
Each cap was hooked up to the output of a BAUR PGK 25 High Voltage
Test Set to measure the leakage current while increasing the (dc)
voltage until they finally started to fail internally or blew up.
Anyone who's interested in the results: 942 cap

I'd like to invite you to draw your own conclusions and to discuss
them here.
Nice to see someone doing some research! Terry also did another test on
the caps in 2005; that thread can be found here:
