Hi. Stevehertz ... When you say to check capacitors for resistance, how can I tell what the reststance should be ? I've only seen uF/nF/pF and the voltage on them. Is this the E.S.R I suppose ? I bought an E.S.R meter when I started geting my kit together but could not realy understand what it was supposed to be for, so have not used it since. I measure my resistors with my AVO 8 and my capacitors with a Greyshaw CR 50 C/R Bridge. Both the AVO and the bridge have been overhalled /aligned by a kind member of this forum. Am I missing something I should realy be paying attention to ?
