Hi there...
Yes, I was thinking it could be tricky. The coax is, however, clamped tightly and has only a very small aperture, coax only goes through very tightly indeed. I will probably be able to seal it by cleaning it very thoroughly and using JB Weld or similar to coat it from the inside, before filling the probe with transformer oil. Once the JB Weld has cured on the inside of the probe, I can also seal the outside, expecting little or no oil to permeate there anyway.
Everyone: thanks for all your recommendations. I was pretty quick in responding to suggestions by pressing the 'buy' button on EBay. So I have ended up with two or three products to try out. I didn't buy the most expensive, so not much harm done to the wallet. I'll report back once I've finished the probe.
Cheers!
