Using analog needle type ohm meter, checked capacitor according to your directions found in this thread:

(Great directions, BTW, Lazypup, clear and easy to follow)
The needle did rise-- but not all way into mid-range--then dropped down slowly.
Does the fact the needle didn't rise as far as mid-range indicate a problem with the capacitor?
If capacitor is not bad, what would you recommend as the next step in finding where the problem lays?
Again, I want to thank you for taking the time to help me and your willingness to share your expertise.
