Here you go...

seems pretty substantial... nice case and everything...is it really a whole chip?

and....

and....

NO CHIP!! just a resistor.

The packaging and the contents -- too funny:

That is a riot! Where did they have you connect said "chip"?

It's quite sad as well that they don't even solder the resistor to the wire - just twist the leads around the wire.

It's called wire wrapping and it's actually a technique that's used often in smaller electronics...

Well, we definitely use it in some of our reactor monitoring systems... That, and I teach how to do it, among other things...

20 cent resister , $19.80 for the box and a bit of wire , sounds like a bargin ,

that 33k resistor is actually only 8 cents
