I'm a tool user/collector/maker, so I'd rather do the ESR Meter project than soldering all my caps en masse!
I've got half a dozen (at least, and I can never find the one I want :
) ranging from a $5 Harbor Freight Digital up through a nice Compact. Beeping CrapShack Digital and a really nice Analog Meter from the PhoneShack . . .. . . before they turned into CrapShack! :lol:
I still haven't found a SillyScope for under $100, but then again, I've got a nice Logic Probe from Radioshack that's mostly untried for . . .
. . . waaaay longer than I'd like to admit! :I
