The Sencore list is very handy. I have compared it to the list on the Dick Smith ESR meter and have found that if you multiply the results from that list by 10 times you get approximately the Sencore list values. As a rule of thumb, if a cap shows an ESR of 5 times greater than the Dick Smith list, then the cap should be replaced.

This place would never allow me the money to by Sencore products but it would help me quite a bit if I could get a copy of this chart. Is this chart something that can be purchased through Sencore or do they only supply it to their customers? Thanks, Rich Richard J. Bateman, CET, CA.

I found one cap C3407 100uF 25V in the primary of the power supply that had slightly high ESR (6 ohm) and marginal DA (11%). I resoldered a number of connections, though none really looked bad and now it works. I would not have thought that the ESR reading was all that bad but checking the Sencore chart it is too high for this value cap. Leonard G.
