   So the bullshitting fools who do NOT even read my posts are the ones who   
   hate them the most.

   ** Fraid that pile of shit is  NOT a real ESR meter !!!   
      
    If you merely read the specs of the thing, it is clearly not capable of   
   giving correct readings of electro ESR.   
      
    ANY meter that IS capable of reading electro ESR correctly WILL work just   
   fine with the cap in circuit.

   ** This mysterious "hand held esr meter " of yours  =  what ?????   
      
       Don't be coy -  out with it.   
      
       Inquiring minds need to know what POS it is.

   ** Must have been made that way or are simply mislabelled.   
      
   The process that causes ESR to rise in an electro always  PRECEDES any loss   
   of capacitance due to old age.
