What with the long running discussion about leaking electrolytic caps in the classic Macs, I came across this project (while searching for Motorola radio stuff), and thought it might be a very useful item - and apropos the subject - for fellow 'listers:
http://members.shaw.ca/swstuff/esrmeter.html ..it's mostly a device to measure aging cap's while they're still soldered to the board, which the techie says will detect about 95% of problems without pulling the cap (his explanation is *far* more detailed, of course); building the tester will require some skill & circuits experience (about as much as replacing the caps in the first place). (No, I haven't built one. Yet. I just came across it, and thought y'all might appreciate the link.)
