   I saw this voltmeter at the electronics flea market. Look at that massive probe! It looks like you need to check your back blast before using it.
   Apparently it's for REALLY high voltages? Like, 3kV?

     @foone I love that it has a pressure gauge! I wonder if it also came with a can of Freon to top it up like the old Tektronix HV probes?

     @foone I'd go up an order of magnitude at least, you wouldn't need it that big for 3k. The little TV repair sized hv probes you probably saw around in various places are made for like 30
