Thanks to all, you've given me a lot of options.? I have already been investigating the LC-100A and the "transistor checker" to some extent before posting this inquiry here.? My only concern with those is their longevity as I read of problems sometimes developing months after purchase, particularly the loss of low level inductor and capacitor reading.
I wasn't aware of the NanoVNA's capability to measure inductors and caps.? Correctly me if I'm wrong as it doesn't seem to be a direct measurement according to the videos on the process.
I think under the circumstances, I might just wait a while until I build up more savings for a suitable unit.
Thanks again to all,
Jon

I ended up building a VK3BHR version of those testers and it measures low values very well.
Jim,
I started by building one of those.
It certainly works well, I consider it the best because it will give negative "zero" readings if calibration drifts in use. Particularly useful for low measurements.
