My friend who runs a garage phoned to say his tyre machine isn't working. the motor won't start unless you give it a push.

Your Capacitor has gone I say, can you have a look at it and read off the values so I can order a new one for you.

So he goes and takes it out of the machine.

He's merrily reading out all the numbers on it then

"F*** Me" comes from the phone. in a very loud voice.

What's up I ask

"I just got a F ing belf of that capacitor, and it bloody hurt."

I was first "taught" (on site of course) to check caps by shorting out with a screwdriver...............nobody ever mentioned a capacitance meter!
