I don't have an "ESR meter" yet, but was under the impression it takes one of these to actually check a capacitor. In school like 20 years ago, I remember we had an actual bench unit that was actually called a capacitor checker...I think Sencore comes to mind when remembering that thing. It would charge the cap and check for leakage, etc. This was just a "TV/Radio repair" class.....so even in the eighties I never got to work with any real vintage stuff.
I would be curious too how to use a regular Fluke or B&K DMM to check a capacitor.
