That said, I do find an ESR meter INDISPENSABLE.. You'll discover
that most electrolytics more than 20 years old have gone WAAY up in
ESR.


The first thing I did when I bought and built the DSE ESR Meter was
to go through every electrolytic capacitor I had in stock. About 25%
were either suspect, or bad, so they were pulled from the parts
cabinets. They were leftovers from servicing early japanese
electronics, garage door openers, and two way radios.
