Chris,
if you are looking for bad capacitors, the best device to do this with a ESR meter. ESR stands for
Equivalent Serial Resistance - as electrolytics go bad, this rises over time. The good news is that the
replacement caps are relatively cheap and easy to replace if you are handy with a soldering iron....
