We use Radio Shack 160-in-One electronics kits as part of our Freshman Chemistry/Physics course. Some of the capacitors have been damaged. I can replace all components except for the capacitors. I see no recognizable numbers on the disk capacitors which I have bought at RS. I also have not found a simple circuit for determining the capacitance of them. Is there something like an RC circuit, or must I set up an oscillator and use an oscilloscope to tune the inductor to determine resonance and calculate the capacitance? Obviously, I am not an electronics expert. These kits are excellent, fitting with our curriculum which has included simple electrical circuits, both 6 volt and 120 volt house-wiring, both on home make kits. The problem is with damaged components. Larry Brown
