Which of these esr meters do you recommend

[bp1]

Hi everyone
I have recently registered and very new on these forums.
First of all what a great forum site.
So interesting and very informative.

I am very interested in buying an esr meter. I have read many posts here at badcaps.net and have come to the conclussion that this would prove quite essential in my toolkit.

i have been currently looking at the esrmicro 4 (http://www.radiodevices.info/zakaz_e.php) and the Atlas esr60 (http://www.peakelec.co.uk/acatalog/jz_esr60.html )

Both of these are currently out of stock.

Which of the above would you recommend as best value and ease of use.
or
which esr meter manufacturer / model would you recommend.
My budget would be to spend upto the price bracket of the esr meters above in uk pounds.

Your advice and reviews would be very much appreciated.

Many thanks

go for the russian one, it also reads resistance and looks nice.

Would i be right to say the russian guy visits these forums.
It would be good to hear when he is likely to get these back in stock.

seems where the discussion about the esr meter has been taking place.

All links within the threads there also seem to point to out of stock.
I live in the uk.
Would be most grateful to you if you could say which usa supplier you bought your esr meter from.

Many thanks

Just a quick update to say i recieved my esrmicro v4 today from mike in Russia.
As other posts on these forums mike has always replied to any email queries very fast.
The delivery from Russia to the UK took 10 days. The package arrived open but all the contents were present.
Had a quick play with the esr meter with some good and bad caps and so far very pleased with the choice.

Just like to say thanks to all that have commented on this thread for their advice.

Kind Regrads

+1 for the esr micro Mike is a good man and will come through. I got the older 3.1 which is awesome. Delivery took about 2 weeks batteries included
