Hi Chris, Coilers,

Take a look at the Wavetek Meterman LCR55 as well.  After months
of waffling over which one to get, I chose the LCR55, which I am
very pleased with.  It covers a wide range of both inductance
and capacitance, plus it does a good job of measuring low values
of resistance.  Great for a tesla coiler and a ham operator.
