Another important point. It's rare for all of the caps in the series
string to fail. Only one gone bad will cause lots of hum. I use my
trusty Simpson 260 on the middle Ohms range to read charge and discharge
current as I reverse the leads, and compare each cap to the others. A
bad one will have a lot less charge and discharge current. I have three
Titans, so I've been through this several times. Only once when I've
replaced one has another one come up bad in the string.
