Is it possible to test capacitors reliably without a capacitance
meter?

If you want to test capacitors reliably you need an ESR (Effective
series resistance) meter, not a capacitance one.


** That only applies to electrolytic caps -

True, but with modern equipment the vast majority of faulty capacitors...


** So ****ing what ?

The OP never alluded to what sort of caps he wanted to test.

So your assumption is 100% FALSE !!!!!!!!



plus the name is "equivalent series resistance".

Both terms are used.


** Complete ********.


Plus an ESR meter will NOT find electro caps that have excessive
leakage, de-polarised or even become short circuit.

Agreed,


** So your assertion above is a 100% total pile of CRAP.

Just like you - sunshine.
