I also own and built the ESR meter kit designed by Bob Parker and 
sold through Dick Smith.

That one is no longer available, but despair not! Bob has redesigned 
the meter (well, actually just the case and such -- the circuit is 
identical to the original) as the Blue ESR Meter and it sells from 
several sources. Here is one:

Enjoy,
