[Amps] Date Code Samsung 120 MFD 450 Volt Capacitors?

[Boye Christensen]

Hi
If they are old
make an EXT. circuit with soft start to test each, e.g a diode with 100 
kOhm in series.
Use a DMM to measure time /voltage and calculate capacitance.
230 VAC to a diode gives app. 325 VDC, take care of safety
