One thing I do not understand about the ESR meter....
I have seen plenty of times that a cap or electro will test good at low voltage and test bad at closer to rated voltage with a heathkit cap checker when the cap is out of the circuit.
So How is an ESR meter supposed to help when it has a low voltage reference signal?
The bulging caps tested fine with an ESR today over at Fair Radio here in Lima, Ohio.
They Don't sell them but they keep one around for their tech to use.
