Actually I have opened the box and found lots of empty space, one
capacitor, one ???? embedded in the case (maybe a transistor?), and
one "secret" insert with a warning about berillium (sp?).  I don't
have much idea what any of it does unless a transistor is switching
voltage on and off in response to some input.
