I like the ESR meter made by Creative Electronics around 1980. I just looked on Ebay, and a couple of them recently sold for more than the US$100 original price!
If you are restoring any tube-type electronic device, though, I would replace all of the electrolytics rather than depend on some of the originals remaining in good condition.

I go with replacing the electrolytics(especially with equipment made prior to 1960). I have tried the so-called "reforming" with poor results and would not want to trust power transformers and such to old caps.
To date, I have not had any of my new caps fail. But, just in case, I also install fuses.
