I've got one these.
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/TH2821-LCR-Meter-inductance-capacitance-and-R-1Khz_W0QQitemZ280467653417QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_3?hash=item414d2cc329Its about another $50 more than than the L/C meter above, but its specs
are better. 4 port measurement at 100Hz,120Hz,1kHz or 10kHz with L, C &
R resolutions of 10nH, 100uOhm and 10fF respectively. It's only
disadvantages is the poorly thought out user interface.
