Bob Parker ESR Meter

[John Robertson]

You could start by looking at the comparison of various ESR meters
on the Anatek website at...

http://www.anatekcorp.com/testequipment/esrcompar.htm

I've been chatting with John at Anatek and he is going to edit that
page to show that the DS ESR kit is NOT discontinued. We shall be
carrying his ESR Meter protection kits as well as some of our own ideas.

PS, the ESR kits have been shipped from DS in Australia, should be at
the shop any day and we shall ship all backorders ASAP! The
LOPT/Flyback kits are on backorder at DS though, sorry!

Oh, and if you tried adding my MOV over-voltage protection suggestion
it would be best to disconnect it after all, seems to have issues after
a while...

Howdy,
I unsubscribed from this newsgroup about a month ago, when I got
tired of it looking like the TV guide to the Saturday morning
children's cartoons. I only discovered this thread by doing a Google
search for ESR meters in case anyone was having a problem. It's a
subject which is almost never mentioned any more.
I think that all the likely causes of the readings becoming very
unstable have been covered by others in this thread. The most likely
problem would be something to do with the test leads, like fractured
wires from a lot of use, or the nuts on the test lead jacks working
loose over time, as has already been mentioned.
There's a page of fault-finding info on my website at
http://members.ozemail.com.au/~bobpar/esrprob.htm which *might* be of
some help...

Bob

Well, since you've mentioned/suggested it - here I am - opening my ears or
is it "eyes" to any suggestions on ESR meters.
