Hi!
I've been winding a few of my own coils recently, and am getting to the point where I could use a better way of measuring the inductance.
Currently, I have a multimeter which reads inductance, but only measures at one frequency. I would prefer something that measures at 1KHz as well as 100Hz.
I'm reluctant to buy an unknown thing from those hong kong sellers on ebay.
This one looks nice but pricey...

And it also takes up a lot of desk real-estate!
My other (budget) thought was to go old school and buy an old LCR bridge off ebay, but I think I'd be worried about the calibration after all this time, and many only measure at one frequency.
I guess I could modify an old bridge and drive it with a signal generator to get variable frequency. I quite like that idea.
Anyway, I'd be grateful for any thoughts and experiences.
Thanks!
Stewart
