You guys DO realize that capacitors break down with age... faster if they're NOT in use... so you have no idea what you're getting with NOS caps... and measuring it isn't very helpful with a meter because they swing at different frequencies and at different voltages... and Different voltages DO make a difference with tone caps because they react at different frequencies at different voltages to...

You gotta scope'm.
