$7 Smart Component Tester (LCR-T4 M328)

[baja]

I have to get one of those! I have a huge stockpile of components salvaged from old equipment and passed to me by folks retiring from the hobby. Identifying and testing it to select what I need is an eye-watering task.

I don't like to deal with Ebay or Bangood and the other Chinese-direct shippers but I see that the unit is available from Amazon...

for $ 15.50 so it's on my shopping list.

Would that unit be able to diagnose a digital clock? I have a clock that came out of an old Marlboro advertising sign from a Circle K store in the mid 80`s that I set in a brass housing. It worked for years and years and one day started blinking like the power had shut down. Took it to a guy I know that fixes electronics and he had it for a couple months and it didn`t malfunction. I brought it home and found a loose connection in the cord which I repaired and it worked fine for a couple more months and the same thing. I can plug it in and it will run for a while and back to the same old, same old. I want to repair it because it`s the only clock I found that I can see at night with my glasses off, lol. Unless I spend big money on a new one.
