Re: Anybody got a good LCR meter that they want to sell?

Bob Albert
 

I wasn't comparing the units in detail.? For the vast majority of measurements, the cheaper one is more than adequate.? I am sure your extra money does buy some functionality but for me, I have better instruments and only use the cheap one for casual tests.

It's great for identifying solid state components, such as FETs and bipolars.? Measurements on common value resistors and capacitors and inductors are accurate enough for me, mostly.? A nice feature of these testers is that it's 'quick and dirty' meaning you don't have to be too careful, and you don't even have to know the kind of component you are testing.? With my fancy bridge I have to decide if it's R, L, or C, and it won't do solid state parts.

After all, it's only a few bucks, and money well spent.

That is a good unit for not too demanding applications.? However, it's available on ebay for a lot less money.? In some cases, less than $10 shipped.

I have a similar one and use it a lot.

Are you saying that the Hungarian $55 one can be had on eBay for $10? I don't think so. The Hungarian one seems to be well thought out in design, whereas none of the other cheap one seem to be.

The Hungarian one use 4-wire sending, which few on eBay do unless you pay lots of money.
