Re: Stevens ST-75 Tester first time user questions

I think Bill is right on the coil test. I’ve also noticed this using my Stevens. If you have a leak while using the probe test,
it will throw a pretty good spark. And the cracks will be very noticeable on the coil. As far as the capacitor leakage test, if they fail this, they are shot. I too, have tested quite a few Wico screw top condensers that fail on the Stevens. I’ve also had a lot of used OMC condensers that appear to be ”weak” on the leakage test. Better to replace them. When you test a new one compared to the old used one, you will see the difference.
