Mine used to be synchronized to the television show schedule.

The ancient Egyptians apparently were on a decimal system but got
derailed by a special interest faction in their standards committee
that favored a 12 hr day. At least they tried. I would give the
blame/credit to the Babylonians.

The Bob Parker (Blue) ESR meter kit has most of the best features
(pretty much the gold standard meter), the only recommendation I have
with it is to also check across the capacitor with an ohm-meter to make
sure the low reading is because the capacitor is shorted...
 
Oh, and I happen to sell those, have been since 1999! We use one in the
shop all the time.
