Post one so we are not guessing

The YouTubers I have in mind are:

 John Ward - he uses his Fluke multi function tester in insulation test mode to check a run / start motor capacitor

and

Bill - Lockdown Electronics - he recreates w2aew's procedure to measure the esr with an oscilloscope and function generator, but goes on to test with an insulation tester (much like above)

[Ed to add #744 IMSAI Guy]




So you might not need any fancy equipment but chasing down all those specs with every single cap you come across?  That's cumbersome.

fancy equipment, or not, it becomes a fetish soon enough.

For anyone thinking (or curious) about home-built ESR meters, have a look at:
