ESR Meter Mk2 by Alan Willcox - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Philips210 · 13th Feb 2013, 2:14 pm

Hi.

I was going to build Alan Willcox's ESR meter from Television magazine March/April 1999 but stumbled across his Mk2 version from Television magazine Dec 2004/Jan 2005 issues.
Unfortunately, I can't seem to find the Jan 2005 issue for the second part of the article. Can anyone help regarding a scan of the article? Thanks.

Regards
Symon.

I can scan and post it this evening, unless someone can do it before then.

Hi Keith.

That will be excellent.

I have a poor copy of the articles if Keith has problems.
Meanwhile this link gives details (including a PCB) of a project closely based on Alan Willcox's design.

Here's the January 2005 article and for the sake of completeness I've added the December 2004 article.

Have you seen "Yorkie" article, some where around here not sure how to locate it.He made a pcb and altered the ciruit diagram a bit, I think it was a couple of years ago.Yorkie is also on Golbourne you could look there.I made an ESR meter to his design,works well and David located the fault for me.Ted
