wasnt as reliable as others. Cold joints under harmonica connectors & bad CRT cables on testers. And they did not give anything away !

No, it would have been in CT, maybe Meriden or Waterbury.

You're right; Sencore was never shy about charging for anything they sold. It was before my time, but Sencore had a horrid reputation for quality earlier - like the 60s and 70s. I remember a few comments from seasoned techs at those seminars. They got their act together later.

My Z meter was trouble free from 1985 until early this year, when it started getting slow to acquire a number and drifted. I used a handheld ESR meter to pick off the worst offenders and it's been running perfectly since. Some day I'll recap it.
