Hi Guys
I already made my view clear and personally will never buy an ESR meter.
Guys dealing with antique amps and equipment may wish to try to use what is there BUT you are dealing with parts that are seriously fatigued and should be cut out of the circuit. Cans can be left in place for the vintage look, with small modern caps inside the chassis wired in their place.
Paper dielectric caps are not really capacitors after a decade and need to be replaced by polys.
