[ARC5] LCR meter recommendations?

[Scott Robinson]

Folks,

Or, if you want the Good Stuff: Find a General Radio (AKA GR or GenRad) 
1650 or 1650A LCR bridge. First quality lab grade stuff, runs forever on 
a few D cells, very accurate, and not digital or automatic and so 
doesn't have regions for inductances in real, lossy inductors where the 
algorithm won't converge. Size about a 10 inch cube.  They sell on eBay 
for $30-$100.

Not as compact or handy as a hand-held, but very useful.

Peace,

Scott Robinson
