Awesome! Glad to hear you got it rolling.

The brand new 220nF cap measured 30Ω ESR on the cheap LCR

That is definitely not right. Film caps are generally very low ESR. I suppose there could be something about the way the cheap tester does the ESR measurement that isn't good for filim caps, or it's possible that it has a narrower range for ESR.

Also possible that it's just not super reliable. I generally use my cheap tester as go/no-go tester and I don't rely on it for precision.

If you decide to get something that is specifically more reliable for ESR, people seem to like the PEAK devices.

I decided to get a DE-5000 LCR meter after watching a bunch of reviews, and I'm happy with it. It is not quite as convenient to use as the PEAK meter, but it's got a wider range of functions and seems to be pretty accurate according to the hobbyist community.
