So - you think that I got a good deal for $15 AUD ($7.50 US) ?

Thanks to all for the helpful advice - looks like I've got a nice little 
bit of kit here - just needs a box to mount it in.

I've got a few (like several 10's) of 1/2W 5M6 resistors floating around, 
so I will make up a divider network on a PCB, drop it in a can of oil, and 
use it to extend my range.

Would there be any mileage in using a safety gap or string of MOV's to 
protect this little treasure?

Cheers

M
