Eric, WB4VVI, (SK) reminded me of this that a cap can regain a charge from
being under fluorescent lighting. I try to keep some sort of jumper on my
larger capacitors and check them with the shorting probe. Incidentally, I
use the one that we had hanging on every corner of my shop when I was on
board ship. These we were the ones made of acrylic and a derating curve
based on the amount of voltage being discharged. If its good enough for the
USN then it is good enough for me.

...somewhar in the shallow recess of my mind I recall one was to wire
jumpers accross the oil filed caps (meter terminals also) and this
("rebound") is probably the reason why... klc
