   "John-Del is a Lunatic"   
      
   I have a Sencore, and it does read ESR in circuit.   
      
      
   ** Wrong.   
      
   Since it's more accurate to read out of circuit,   
   I'm guessing back when they made them   
   they weren't advertised as having in circuit capability, or maybe no   
   one really thought about checking them in circuit.   
      
      
   ** Total Lunacy.   
      
      
   I also have a   
   dedicated ESR meter, and it doesn't seem to be any more accurate than   
   the Sencore is in circuit, and I'd bet the Sencore is more accurate   
   out of circuit.   
      
   ** This cunt is totally out of his head.   
      
      
    And of course no instrument can read value in circuit.   
      
      
   ** This cunt is totally out of his fucking head.   
      
      
   In the last couple of years, I've stopped trying to save a   
   minute and read ESR in circuit anymore.   
      
      
   ** Wot an utter, fucking  idiot.   
      
      
   Although most bad electros will show bad ESR first,  I've seen   
   plenty of electrolytics that show normal ESR, no leakage, and be WAY   
   off in value,  or show dramatically different ESR and value after   
   doing the leakage test on them.   
      
      
   ** John is a fucking nut case fuckwit.   
      
    God puts them on earth to give the rest of us someone to laugh at.
