after reading these posts i did some testing with my Sun Master Motor Tester on several nors. condensers and a new FA49. tests are for resistance,capacity and leakage. all the nors. ones showed low capacity,less than .30 and most showed leakage. i thought the tester was not correct until i tested the FA49 which showed no leakage and .35 mfd. so, dont buy any old stock condensers as your chances of getting a good one are slim.
