Dirt cheap and simple scope-based component tester - curve tracer
Fraser:
0xdeadbeef,
Don't worry, I take responsibility for my own mistakes ;)
There are two reviews...one for the built unit and one for the kit. The kit review says: "Very good and functional testers. First class components"
No mention of display issues and anyway these displays are now so cheap that I would fit a better one if needed :)
Having looked at the schematic I believe it to be a pretty decent design and IMHO better value for money than the ACTracer as I get the benefit of total portability. If you were to look at Huntrons prices for an LCD display Tracker you would be horrified !
I don't like to waste money but this looks a pretty decent risk to me :)
Thanks again for pointing me towards ELV. I have purchased from them before but had no idea that they could supply this unit.

I've always liked this curve tracer kit that I found several years ago, I bookmarked it, so I remembered it when this thread popped up.
I don't own this one, but the author/developer has done a nice job and it's had good reviews. Sadly, he's not selling it anymore.

It wasn't cheap at $779 for the kit and $1200 fully assembled, but it included an audio function generator and triple output power supply.

The ELV K100 arrived today :)
Initial impressions of the kit are very good indeed. Professionally packed and quality components used.
I attach the unpacking photos

How did this turn out? Worth the money or a dead loss?

I just noticed that other posts 2 ago are dated june 16 2012 , is this thread that old of a fluke over the net ?
