   An ESR test establishes the **condition** of a given electro cos the bastards   
   have a LIMITED service life  !!!!!!   
      
   A cap that tests 5 ohms ESR when it ought read 0.5 ohms is totally WORN OUT   
   and needs immediate replacement before it stops working as a cap all together   
   and/or spews electrolyte over the PCB and other components destroying them.
