Without trying to steal Bob Parker's thunder, this EVB unit is
manufactured under license to Bob Parker. The design is his and is
Australian, not Portugese.

Compare

with the original

Of course the casing and finish of the EVB unit is different to Bob's
design but the components etc are the same.


Thanks Ross.
I collaborated closely with EVB in getting that version of the
meter finalized. It does have more protection against charged caps
than my original circuit (big fat diodes). The components are high
quality, plus it uses the very bright red Kingbright displays I
originally specified, whereas the DSE meter has cheaper
moderate-brightness orange displays.
I think the EVB meter's really good.

Bob

I've seen posts on the ESR meters here and there and though I've thought a
few times of getting one, haven't as yet. Who distributes the meters in this
thread - of Mr. Parker or whomever? I seen him list EVB, I'm not familiar
with them - at least not to my ever growing feeble mindedness and subsequent
knowledge or lack thereof. What sort of price tag are they carrying. Also, I
seen one made by Tenma, is it of any quality? I'd like to buy a good one
when I do go to buy one. Any I should look at if I can't find "a" particular
model/brand? Any I should definitely steer clear of? Any particular specs it
should have to make it stand out over another model?

Thanks,
