**Up until last year, I was using the Bob Parker ESR meter. Excellent

Very, VERY nice instrument. I use it every day. If you budget can stretch,
it is highly recommended.



If that is too much, you can get about the same thing without a caes from
China for $ 16 including shipping.
There are several on ebay similar to this one. They check almost any small
signal component.

The cheapo fleabay one, I could not find the pk-pk voltage in ESR mode,
in the specs. Do you know what it is? I consider that to be a vital
requirement as most of my testing is in-circuit , unlike the shown
examples of isoltated componenent testing. Must be no more than .2V and
ideally .1V, so as not to turn on anything active, in circuit
