Re: Blue esr mester low readings



thank you very much for your comments, the intention of the original post is i was expecting higher readings in the old used caps, that make me think there is a problem with the meter, maybe defective or damaged part(s)?

for example, can be an used 30 years old cap still good?

hello, i recently buy a Blue esr meter, i assembly it, calibrate it, run test procedure (.8.8) was ok, testing several resistors all with good readings, low battery warning adjust was ok too, also check all resistors with dmm before install and double check all parts, places and orientation for install in pcb. well as i write before test procedure shows .8.8 and no error codes but... if a test old capacitors for example a pair of 30 years old 10000 uf 50 volts nichicons i pulled from a old Marantz receiver gives me abnormal low reading = 0.02 ohms, almost same as a brand new Panasonic 10000uf/80v...
