Thanks for the great demo on the cap tester. Very well done.

[@LifewithDavid1]

My pleasure! Thanks for watching.

[@sanjursan]

Great video. I am inspired to check out and rebuild my 950B. You have a new subscriber!

[@LifewithDavid1]

Thanks. Hope this helps you in rebuilding your 950B.

Good video. I routinely come back here to remind myself of the correct process for testing caps. I just refurbished my 950B and it worked great.
Thanks

Thanks David! Just bought that’s like new. Want to use to test capacitors in tube audio amplifiers I have. It’s pretty cool looking to, functional art!

[@LifewithDavid1]

That's great! Have fun!

[@orge343]

I just bought one of these old gals from an estate sale and videos like these are great teaching tools. Thank you!

[@LifewithDavid1]

You're welcome. Nothing better than working with 600 volt circuitry!

[@tomk4484]

I just got one of these 950b myself and will begin restoration soon, so I appreciate you spending the time to make this video. Nice job!

[@LifewithDavid1]

Glad I could help!

[@wayneparris3439]

The "power" test is a series resistance test it just uses a different scale. Thanks :D

Got one recently frim fb market place for 30 bucks

[@LifewithDavid1]

That's great1 Remember that this generates very high voltage; so be careful.

Magic Eye, like the books from the '90s you stare at?

[@robminderman7213]

Wow, when did you renovate the basement?

[@jeffreyhaynes5774]

Looking for a power transformer #30005 for EICO-950B.

Where can I buy replacement 1% capacitor s?

[@LifewithDavid1]

For the high voltage caps in this unit, I would try justradios.com 1% caps are pretty tough to find and usually if you REALLY need that pecision; you would have to test a whole bunch of them and manually select them youself. However most capacitor testors are not that accurate anyway.
