Maybe I'm just lucky: I have a Heathkit DMM (that I'm 99% sure is really a
Fluke meter), that includes capacitor and transistor testing. The whole
meter kit was only about $80 when I built it about 7 - 8 years ago, and
Heathkit wasn't known for being that much cheaper than a prebuilt.
Talked my parrents into getting it for me back in college when I had to take
Circuits Lab I. I convinved them it would be cheaper than having to retake
the class, since a good number of the meters in the lab never worked, and
they had a nasty habit of handing you the wrong parts, especially caps.
