RE: VCAPs break in approach

there are commercial "cap cookers" But what I did was run them across speaker terminals of a "detuned tuner" to produce white noise. My small transistor radio gives out less than a volt of white noise AC. I also rigged up a bridge rectifier (of the poorest quality) straight out of the wall, to produce a scraggly 120Hz or so of signal. Am also thinking of putting in a transformer right after the rectifier, at some future weekend. That should produce pure AC of substantial voltage. Hope this helps.
