[Boatanchors] Capacitor Bridge Reccomendation

[J. Forster]

Hi Larry,

That's very, very kind of you. The folks at the Massachusetts are working
very hard to get these things operational. I'm CCing a copy of this email
to Chris Nardi, the Curator of Battleship Cove.

Thanks again,

-John

>> I'm looking for a good Capacitance Bridge and Leakage Checker for the
>> Battleship Massachusetts. I'm thinking of something along the lines of a
>> 60s+ vintage Eico, Heath, or similar unit.
>>
>> The basic requirements are:
>>
>> Cap Range:  <100 pF to >100 uF.
>> Leakage to:  >450 VDC, 600 VDC or higher a real plus.
>> Manual:  Included or readily available.
>>
>> It's main use will be to check oil filled caps in WW II radio and RADAR
>> gear.
>>
>> I'm think something like the Eico 955 or 965. Price is an important
>> consideration.
