Well I’ll be darned–I have one of those. Bought it 30 or 40 years ago. It works, but doesn’t give actual capacitance values. You compare the flashing rate with a known good one of similar capacitance. The higher the capacitance, the slower it flashes. The theory of operation is downright simple. The "guts" are a couple of diodes & resistors and a neon bulb.
