Perhaps with a little hoarding problem.

They are ready mounted on switches with a 2mohm resistance, and in a nice enclosure with the legend "JJ Instruments R802 Resistance Box".There were 4 other examples, which went for £50-80+35%. I'm not sure why I was lucky; the only visible reason is that mine was upside down on the shelf Since I'm in a somewhat fey mood, I'll rub salt in BU's wound by linking to something he'll remember: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/test-equipment-anonymous-(tea)-group-therapy-thread/msg2891182/#msg2891182

I still have the remnants of mine in their boxes sitting on the shelf while I wait for a refund in case I need to take more pictures if it has to be escalated. That packing job. I don't know what to say about that packing job that I could post without getting in trouble.

hrmpf. Asked Threshold nicely for some schematics, and they told me that handing those out was against company policy.

Oh, and a good VTVM comes in handy as well. I have four. With a HV probe.
