Title: LCR Meter, Super Cheap
Post by: mattthebaker on March 30, 2013, 05:34:59 pm
Found this steal when I was in Tokyo last December.  I was in need of an LCR meter for a project, and had been researching my options online.  I was in Akihabara and saw one that looked mighty familiar.  The ODM that makes the handheld LCR meter for IET Labs seems to have sold a lot to one of the best uC stores in Akiba: Akizuki Denshi.  IET list price, $330, Akiba street price, 4700 Yen, or about $60.  It can do measurements up to 100khz, which is uncommon in these meters under $300.  Anyway, here's a link: http://akizukidenshi.com/catalog/g/gM-06264/ (http://akizukidenshi.com/catalog/g/gM-06264/)

Any idea if they would do an internet order and ship to the US?  That is a crazy good price.  What is your experience with the unit that you bought?
