Without a tremendously sophisticated rig to observe its dielectric failure - just substitute a good one as mentioned above.

There's nothing like the real load I agree. However, if the condenser is bad enough the simple tests and test equipment work. No telling how much money has been thrown away on condensers, coils and spark plugs over the last 85 years for nothing when the real problem was something else.
