Yes. I have one, but have not used it yet. It is a precision instrument that 
would find use in a lab, but for OUR uses, something much simpler, such as 
the IT-28 or even the C-3, would suffice just fine.

Yes. Exactly.

I have an IB-2 here also, but have not yet used it.

I also have at least two other RCL bridges, an HP, and a BECO. About the 
only thing I have used either one for is to find the inductance of unmarked 
inductors of one kind or another. The BECO is very much like the ZM-11 but 
not as capable. The HP is even less capable but is automatic.

I have also used the BECO to find the "Q" of an inductor, but in many cases, 
that can be calculated.
