Well, I'm going to bite the bullet tomorrow and buy this kit:

I think everyone knows from my previous rants that as a synth tech I just replace old electrolytics on sight in synthesisers, they are a pernicious scourge. I can understand leaving them is some good quality pro audio gear, but I would test them anyway. So instead of being the Electrolytic Soup Nazi I am going all new age and building an ESR meter kit. (I admit a certain influence from the esteemed Joe Malone here :grin: ).
It is certainly cheap enough, and the raves on the net seem good, it even has a bit of a DIY modification following... so time to pony up the dough I guess. I will post a report if anyone's interested.
