    The prize this week looks pretty sweet.

  2. Alan Parekh Says:

    Thanks Berni,

    It isn’t a high end meter but it should get the job done. :)

  3. Alan Parekh Says:

    Just to clarify, this exact image (less the selective obscuration) was used in an article on Hacked Gadgets in the past. I have received tons of entries that are wrong guesses.

  4. Berni Says:

    Well of course its not a Fluke or something, but its a quite different prize then for the last contests. ( i don’t have a Fluke eather, its too expensive for my taste)

    Hi Kayne,

    That’s right, when the contest is over and the winner is announced the item is disclosed. Thanks for playing!
