Hi John that is what you get when you become a grumpy ol' geriatric :-))

The pic from Stewart shows a "cheapy"...... the "good" ones have a threaded
"skirt" (whoops ....done it again electronic blue pencil at the ready !!)
which seals RF leakage from the slots on measuring equipment. The beauty of
them is that you can diassemble them and replace all or any of the parts. So
it you get a knackerd one (OH dear !!) you can replace the broken bit and
rejuvenate the kit.
