I'm looking to acquire a new LCR meter to replace the old bridges I've

one from personal experience? I've watched all sorts of 'tear down'

I'm happy with this one purchased years ago.

Today there are some really interesting and much cheaper multi
purpose testers (transistor, lcr, esr etc.) on Ebay.
All reviews I read so far are very positive about their accuracy.

Here is just one example, search for "lcr tester" to find more.

Ther is no real difference in the Peak meter and the other one off ebay
other than the case. Many of the ones on ebay for around $ 15 to $ 25 test
LCR and solid state devices where Peak tries to sell two seperate meters.

The one I bought off ebay a couple of years ago seems to work very well. I
did put it in a plastic case. While not lab quality, it is good enough to
test devices to see if they are close to their specified values or not any
good at all.
