[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1032797, member: 176704"] Someone may already have one of these, a Mk-168 Transistor\LCR\ESR test meter. I found that ,apart from that unit, there appear to be a number of relatively similar devices available on ebay/Amazon under the generic designation "LCR-T4" and available from a variety of suppliers [URL='https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/Electrical-Test-Equipment/92074/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=lcr-t4&LH_PrefLoc=1&_sop=16'][U]https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/Electrical-Test-Equipment/92074/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=lcr-t4&LH_PrefLoc=1&_sop=16[/U][/URL] The differences that I can see between the Mk168 & the generic LCR-T4 seem to be: - the Mk168 is cased, whereas the basic LCR-T4 has no case, but you can get a self-assembly case, or even a meter complete with a self-assembly case, for around £2 extra - the Mk168 has a removal test block whereas the one on the LCR-T4 is soldered in place but external leads are generally supplied. - the LCR-T4 has a much larger display, and appears to be able to display the pin config of the component under test - the LCR-T4 can be a LOT cheaper - starting at around £6 for an uncased unit, and from £7 to £15 for a cased one, as opposed to around £40 for the one Martin is using. I've ordered one of the cheap cased versions for just over £7 to try out as I can't justify the more expensive ones or the Mk-168 - got to be handy even if it doesn't do all that is claimed. [/QUOTE]
