I would recommend it. You can either buy one of those cheapo testers they have on ebay or if you want something a little more trusted, the Peak ESR meters have a decent reputation.

Personally, I have one of those cheap ones, but I also have a real LCR meter. Between the two of those things (and my DMM) I'm able to test most anything I need to.

Honestly, I've seen you around here enough that at this point you probably want to have some tools to make your life a little easier. You have to consider how much your time is worth, stabbing around in the dark and replacing component hoping it will help.
