The OP asked about an LCR meter. So far most of our comments have been directed only at the resistance measurement.

A handheld meter to measure inductance and capacitance isn't too expensive, as illustrated by the DM4070 suggested by imprsme.

The resistance measurement is a little more challenging. The GOM802 goes for $510 (which is what I paid): http://www.testequipmentdepot.com/in...er-gom-802.htm
The GOM801H is less accurate, but probably still useful, and costs $340: http://www.testequipmentdepot.com/in...r-gom-801h.htm

The MMS suggested by Andy is quite popular, but I have never seen any published accuracy specs for it (which doesn't matter if one is just comparing one stator to another, using the same meter).

There is a Chinese meter for about $65 on Ebay, as whitrzac mentioned in one of my threads on the subject. I don't know of anyone who has used it.

And finally, the cheapest way to get accurate resistance measurements is covered in this thread:
