Re: esr meters

I bought my ESR meter from Maplin they have stores all over UK
its a Peak Atlas esr60, they can be upgraded to the newer version for a price by the manufacturer, it reads Capacitance as well
a good Digital multi meter is priority, but its best others recommend what one, good ones come at a cost
