LCR Meter Recommendation

In Europe, Batterfly sells Tonghui equipment. They quoted me a (reasonable) price but when I asked whether I could return the DC load in case it didn't perform, I got no answer. In my case it would be a B2B transaction so consumer law wouldn't apply. Bottom line: when I'm not sure about whether a piece of equipment works the way I expect it to work, I want to be sure I can return it.

I've delt with this seller before, and the price is pretty tempting for a 200kHz LCR (click the U2832 for the actual price): https://www.aliexpress.us/item/2251832864172109.html

Very nice.

So is the U2831 - at a much nicer price and only giving up the extended frequency range to 200kHz.

Hi folk,

I just got a line on a Protek Z9218 used for about $350 USD.

It seems it has decent specs and is in very good condition.  Anybody heard of these?  They seemed to have sold for around $1,800 USD when new.

That might be okay if it works and there's nothing wrong with it. Searching for user experience with it, I found somebody call it obsolete in 2012, and the business doesn't exist anymore.

If you want to buy it, see if a cal lab near you will calibrate or adjust it. Otherwise, it's a gamble...unless you're looking for a project. But even then, the only reference on this site to it is another user trying to get a user manual 11 years ago with no responses.

ETA: You should also check to see if the BNC ports are standard spacing so other fixtures will fit on it.

Hantek 1833C for the win!

For really tiny capacitors and coils NanoVNA H4.  :popcorn:
