09:07 PM rue_mohr: found 3 items, but when i logged in, the prices went from $1.40ea to $15, $8 ad $5, so I didn't buy any of them
09:07 PM rue_mohr: https://vi.aliexpress.com/item/1005002063521949.html
09:08 PM rue_mohr: pretty well ventillated for waterproof
09:09 PM aandrew: yeah I love when the search terms show super good prices then you realize it's just for the connector or something
09:09 PM aandrew: that looks a lot like a standard desktop voltmeter/frequency counter kind of case
