[Amps] grid resonance

[Will Matney]

Jim,

According to the manual on my Heathkit HD-1250 GDO, that same parallel circuit 
is the basis you use to measure inductance and capacitance with a dip meter. 
You use the LC parallel circuit and the frequency of the dip meter to calculate the 
device under tests' value. You really need a precision capacitor to measure L or a 
precision inductor to measure C. When you see the dip, measure the frequency of 
the dip meter at that point and use that to do the calculation.

Best,

Will
