    Not to start a crap storm but I usually test my condensers with a legit magneto analyzer, doing a leakage and short test. You can use an ohm meter for the rest of your life and never be able to match this test. Every once in a while, an old OMC condenser will pass. However, odd ball magnetos like Wico, Phelon and Eismann almost never do. The condensers may or may not be good enough to generate some spark, but they will not be optimum.

    Long live American manufacturing!
