I was browsing a vintage TV restoration website the other day. Just like repairing/restoring quad gear the question of capacitor quality (esp electro's) is a hot topic. In quad gear it's considered best practice to simply replace certain caps. Or there are ways to check them out of circuit. But it seems in the world of old timey TV, much older than quad stuff, the preferred method is to check them in circuit & replace only if needed.
This is brand new to me. The product of choice is the Electronic Design Specialist capacitor checker:

It seems like a well designed & useful tool. A little bit 'spensive but handy for someone with a steady parade of audio/video gear on the workbench. Does anyone own, used or otherwise have any experience with this gadget?
