Whatcha using to measure ESR? I bought one of those chinese micro-based component testers that are supposed to measure ESR, but it does not yield repeatable results. I'm back to desoldering, grafting together a jig, and measuring as DC resistance. Grr.
Same, some Won Hung Lo knockoff of that German guy's circuit. I agree, not great for caps, AWESOME for sorting bins of random 3 legged silicon though!
I'm just shotgunning actually. The scope is 30 years old. If it's electrolytic it goes. If it's Tantalum it gets a serious stink eye.
He knows if the DC's leaking
or if the ripple is to great
he knows if the electrolyte
is dissolving the copper trace
Sooooooooo
get Nichicon
or Panasonic
those no name brands just won't cut it
Capacitor Claus is coming toooooo townnnnnnnnn
