May I safely presume your new system relies on present "equipment" in ones home hobby shop? (your comment " depending on how much ancillary equipment you might already have."
How does your system depend of the accuracy and repeatability of those existing equipment?
As a retired developer, I have an extensive collection of electronic test equipment...some quite expensive for it's day, but all out of calibration and likely specifications.
What does your new system bring the hobbyist that a $200 China built LCR doesn't?

Since the Users here are more 'hands on...'
I have developed a very low cost L-C-R test system that can measuredown to 5 decimal place resolution and about 0.1 % accuracy.
AT RF FREQUENCY
Commercial units are on the order of $5,000 - 20,000 USD for a few MHz test frequency.
My system should be able to go VHF, but I haven't verified that.
Is this of any use to the Amateur world?
Cost "guess," $200 - 2000 USD, depending on how much ancillary equipment you might already have.
