I saw some capacitor wizards for sale on epay but the price was too rich for me, $275!
I ended up getting a MAT Electronics Analog ESR Meter model MUL3333 that can test capacitors in-circuit and it was only $45 (I will have to use the cables from my old ESR Meter as the original cables didn't come with this unit but they were basically just your standard mini-banana plug style cables.
so what do you think of the circuit diagram I uploaded showing the capacitors in question?
