[Test-Equipment] Looking for modern Sprague TO-6A

[Dan]

Ken,

Have you looked at a Sencore LC-103?  It was the last Z meter Sencore made and probably the best. Although discontinued, they are still available on the used market. 

Hope this helps and good luck

Electrolytics range from 10uF @ 15v to 4500uF @ 350v and 499,000uF @ 35v. Will also have some electrostatic caps rated up to 1050v. The TO-6A is only good to about 600v and is slow to charge really large caps. I've been told that several thousand $ for a new piece of equipment is ok. I've seen some Chinese units on the web but I've noticed that the panel lettering is in Chinese. I can imagine what the manual is like. I'm thinking about calling engineering at a cap company to find out what they use. Anyone here have suggestions?
