    Just ordered one. Thanks!

      Re: Esr meter.

      Those cheapos will also test transistors, diodes, caps and resistors and more... Most of them give you all the info on their screen, usually fairly accurate. Good for most servicing. I have about 5 of them - They sell for about $15. Some or better than others. I am not wild about the blue lever connection - but it works. Just be careful with them they break very easily.

        Is it possible to test small ceramic disc capacitor with analogue meter?
        by chth96
        I read EBOOK of Testing Electronic Component and found that

        "In order to test the small blue resin coated ceramic disk capacitor which has 104 50v specification,it is possible to test this small ceramic capacitor by making use of analogue meter.
        Set to times 10Kohm that has 12v output from the probe to check disorder of ceramic capacitor.
        It is not uncommon that testing result of digital capacitance meter is okay,But It show shorted reading when you check it with analogue meter."

        Is it really possible to test small ceramic disc capacitor with analogue...

        Backlight strip quality, Amazon vs Ebay vs ShopJimmy. Is there really a difference?
        by DXseekerMO
        Hello everyone!

        Recently I've noticed that some ShopJimmy backlight strips don't have double-sided tape installed upon them when an application calls for it, and I must purchase the tape separately. In a recent chat conversation with a customer service agent I told them if this tape wasn't applied when it was called for I would begin to consider ordering my backlight strips elsewhere. It looks like this time may have come.

        I recently got a TCL 65S4 with bad backlights. After looking at the SJ listing here: https://www.shopjimmy.com/tcl-jl-d65...365as-m-led-ba...

        lowest current galvanometer/analog meter (passively powered!)
        by eccerr0r
        Most analog meters are actually current driven - a current is needed to deflect the pointer full scale. They can be lots of different values. There are ones that can take several amperes to swing the pointer as they have internal shunts.

        On the other hand there are many that are rated in microamps for the intent that they draw as little power as possible from the devices under test. Some are 1mA, 500µA, 200µA, 100µA, and the ubiquitous 50µA frequently used in analog VOMs. There are even 20, 25, 30 µA and even down to 10µA. Been collecting a bunch of different ratings and...

        Changing the scale of an analog meter
        by jorpec
        Hi

        I want to change the scale of an analog meter, to monitor the charge of an li-ion single cell, so the needle at the end would point 4.2 volts and the 0 on the meter would point 2.5 volts or so, i tried to add diodes or a zener in series with the meter but the changes of the ambient temperature also changes the voltage value on the meter
        I wonder how i can accomplish this so the meter would be precise at any temperature ?

        How an incandescent light and a ESR meter ** friend**have a machine blowing fuses
        by sam_sam_sam
        About a month ago we had a transformer jumper wire that burned in two different places between two transformers caused over $200 thousand dollars worth of damage to VFD drives at least 10 of them and a memory card and quite a few power supply as well

        Now we have most of the equipment that got damaged back up and running except a feeder that has issues and we are waiting for some parts for

        Now we also have another piece of equipment that was blowing fuses on the 110 volt controller switch circuit with the “E” stops and one switching power (24 volt) supply and a transformer...
