I ordered mine assembled from Australia and it was cheaper than the kit sells for here in the states. The only thing BAD about the Dick Smith ESR meter is NOT having one! How did I ever get by without one? ************************************************** Jim Myers Since 1972 Telrad Electronic Services Co.

Been recommended to me. Need a meter that can detect bad caps IN CIRCUIT. I waste too much time messing about here. Any bad things regarding this meter? Seems to be too good to be true! Told that it is about £35 and is as good as some of the £100 plus meters!! Is this true. Need to know if there is a place in the UK that I can get this item as I do not want to pay a fortune on shipping to England, UK (eg from Australia!!). Also price etc. Regards Mr D Graham Grahams Electronics 978 Walker Road Newcastle upon Tyne England **************************************************************************** * CHECK OUT THE NEW CHATROOM!
