Last year while attending some electronics classes I was in the market for a L-C meter and ended up buying one from MCM Electronics.

I was kinda disappointed (Didn't quite understand the range specifications) when I discovered that it didn't go down far enough to measure values like I would find in crystal radios etc.

Looking around I came across meter kits like the ones offered by
Almost All Digital Electronics And Electronics-diy that read the lower values but they seem kind of crude.

I just came across a review on Tronixstuff and came across another kit with similar pricing that looks to be more refined but I have never heard of the company manufacturing the kit.

Altronics k2533

https://tronixstuff.wordpress.com/tag/k2533/

All the sources I have come up with so far all seem to be outside the U.S. so I don't know if there are any state side sources available.

Anybody familiar with the company or meter

I dont know anything about Tronixstuff, but can vouch for the AADE meter. AADE might be a little on the expensive side, but in my opinion, it is a super fine piece of gear. I could not be without it.

Seem similar except the Altronics has a slightly fancier case.
Price is similar
AADE might have better resolution and range.

here is another,

I recently purchased this one,but have not yet assembled it,
the hang-up is the "case",it's free and worth what you paid
for it,no precut holes or mounting at all,also no room for a
battery,you are on your own.
I own several of the handheld meters in circulation,but find
all of them wanting for accuracy,even the AADE IIB,inductance
accuracy +4% at 250 and 500uH,the most important range
in my opinion.All are quite good on capacitance tho.
Eb.

I took a took at the DIY one myself a couple weeks ago and decided to pass on it for the same reason (potential problems "trimming the case) which makes me look at the AADE & Altronics a little closer.
