no need to apologize I often am snarky

no I cant help you right now as I am at work, but you can google around on the subject and there is a few leads about it on there, if you dont have any luck in a couple hours I would be glad to show you how to do it, but you still have to remove the cap

as far as what type of resistor, no it does not really really matter, if your going on its face value a el-cheapo 5% is going to throw in a certain degree of error, course you should be able to get an exact reading with your meter and just work it in to your math for a more accurate measurement (keeping in mind the cap is going to have a tolerance too, but you would know for sure if its way out of wack or not)

weather it is worth the hassle or not is up to you (obviously to me its not but I have a small electronics parts store in my spare bedroom, so its easy for me to say screw it and replace it with a new part)
