I've found the schematics for several different probes, and I know that
some people build them in a pill bottle, or ink pen shell, or whatever,

Heathkit and Eico come to mind, but they haven't been sold in over
40 years.


Yep, those are the schematics I have, and maybe some popular electronics
magazine articles as well.

I know this new generation of fat lazy kids are too lazy to build kits,
but probes are still used even on modern electronic test gear. I'm sure
there are some technicians, experimenters and some older guys who still
want to build a special needs probe, and need a plastic shell with tip
to do so.... Someone must sell them....
