FYI, the January 2016 issue of Nuts & Volts magazine has an ESR meter. It uses a 1ma panel meter, but of course one could substitute a resistor and use a voltmeter or a multi-meter with a 1ma scale as well.
http://www.nutsvolts.com/magazine (Though I see the January issue is not there yet). It also looks like one can get a 3 month complementary subscription via the URL http://nutsvolts.texterity.com/nutsvolts . The digital edition is well worth subscribing. Better yet, if you subscribe for at least 1 year you can be on their "Preferred Subscriber Network" (no extra charge - just a check-box when you subscribe) which gives you access to *all* the "digital archived" (which I found to be PDFs) issues !! (BTW, Everyday Practical Electronics, EPE, lost me as a subscriber when they did away with ordinary PDFs and instead have this odd locked thing with a plug-in. I refuse to subscribe to an online edition of a magazine where I cannot be assured of permanent access to the issues I paid for! I don't find their "EPE PDF" version with its plug-in to be acceptable. I seem to recall that they restricted printing such that one could not simply print it to a PDF either. Too bad.). JRJ
