[Test-Equipment] Found at a rummage sale - a megger

[Mike Sloane]

The one I have is very similar, but a different manufacturer and 
slightly different configuration (longer and narrower). I also have an 
antique megger that is pretty much just a "door stop" or museum piece. 
<http://public.fotki.com/mikesloane/old-electronics-and/linetesterbox4.html>. 
It would be a fun project for someone who is good at woodwork (which 
means not me).

Thanks for that URL - it explains a lot!
