<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;"><DIV>LOL. My electronics teacher did something like that to me. Gave me a "mystery" device and told me to ohm it out. It ended up being a coil that was probably rated in Henrys (not mH). Tested it with an old VTVOM. Held the leads together with my fingers, got my resistance reading, and when I disconnected the meter leads the flyback effect shocked the snot out of me. I looked up at the teacher and he was laughing. :-)</DIV>
