BLUE ESR CAPACITOR TESTER METER COMPLETE ASSEMBLY - START TO FINISH ALLTRONICS ANATEK BOB PARKER

This is the BLUE ESR CAPACITOR TESTER I have recommended sight unseen. I thought it was time to get one for myself. I opted for the self assembly kit, and a couple of hours later and it is ready. My initial impression, is its really good, much faster readings than the analog ESR meter that I have. Also simple zero of the display is a big plus. It also does very low (non inductive) resistance measurements down to .01 ohm resolution.
