Thinking about it in all fairness the ESR used only had a good/bad scale and the caps checked did fall on different sections of the good scale. Maybe if I had read the directions or been taught by a professional on its use first then maybe the same value/voltage caps testing (maybe good ) but closer to the bad range would have been a red flag to impending doom. The complaint was that the set would not turn on at all. 6 of those caps were on the main board and would not stop the set from turning on.
Maybe "my" ESR complaint is that I have not gotten the feel for.....or understand how to use it correctly.
the "6" caps were bulged and needed to be replaced .
The 470 mf cap was the one keeping the set from turning on..
So now I am curious, Do the ESR meter owned by members here have a pass/fail scale or are they more advanced?
