Boomer if you can find out the size of resister they use on the Mercathode Tool, all you need to do is just take a wooden broom handle, pair off the insulation for about 6 - 8 inches and wrap it around the bottom of the handle. Plug the other end of the wire into the positive side of a digital meter and follow the instructions in Mercstuff. All they are doing is measuring the millivolt leakage near the Mercode (6" away from the cathodes). There is no coil at the end of the Mercathode tool, just a resistor. It is just bare wire wrapped around a piece of plastic that is long enough to reach underwater near the cathodes.
