"Dave"

Wanted to thank *everyone* for the info and encouragement I have received
in this discussion. Bottom line for me, at least for now, is simply don't
test in-circuit (pop one lead and then test after discharging). Have also
found a ton of material on youtube and the net that convinces me to get a
dedicated ESR meter (or possibly build one.) Anyway, thanks all for a
very enlightening discussion.


** This is the one I would buy - if I did not already have two of Bob's
earlier designs.

Bob is an old mate of mine.
