[R-390] Capacitor tester...

[Don Cunningham]

John,
At the advice of a good friend, I built a capaciter ESR checker from a kit 
available several years ago.  I got mine from Dick Smith Electronics (DSE, I 
believe at the time), but can no longer find that.  It will read the ESR of 
a capacitor in or out of the circuit which is a real plus for checking these 
old rigs.  I sure wish I had bought two of the kits while they were 
available, as the commercial ones I see for sale are VERY pricey!!!  If you 
can find one of these that someone built and never used, or even an unbuilt 
kit, I highly recommend the use of those.
