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

[billriches]

Great unit I have had that one for a few years.  My original Sencore lasted
about 20!

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

Actual capacitance value and ESR I have covered. 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?
