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

[Gary H. Harmon, Jr.]

I have one of the digital VICI DM-4070 units off eBay.  They are selling for
less than $40.  It was recommended to me by a good friend who is an
engineer.  Check it out.

Thanks Dan. Looks like there are at least five different models of Sencore
testers (LC53, LC75, LC77, LC102 & LC103). I'll check it out.

and probably the best. Although discontinued, they are still available on
the used market.

test a wide range of capacitors for leakage and insulation resistance.
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?
