[R-390] Capacitor tester...

[John Kidd]

 Hi all,Dick Smith Electronics has gone the way of Radio Shack, cell phones, TV's etc. 
No longer available, however, a revised version is available.
The Blue ESR/Low Ohms Meter, the latest and best Bob Parker design and successor to 
                    the famous Dick Smith ESR/Low Ohms Meter.

I have no connection to them, I have a DSE version that I built and happy with.
