I have just ordered a variety of strain relief devices from Bitsbox.

I was prompted to earth the chassis when I tried to use this signal generator in conjunction with my Hameg oscilloscope. There was sparking between the generator's leads and the chassis of the TR82c I was working on. This was with the osciloscope's leads already connected.
