1KW dummy load, good value for the price point.
Good price point for the product. The large 50 ohm resistor was not fully set in its brackets, so required some maneuvering to seat properly in the brackets before closing the paint can lid. You can get Equate mineral oil from WalMart pharmacy for $1.39/pint. So, you need 7 to 8 pints. I put 7 pints to start with. If you are running 1KW into the can probably ought to use 8 pints. The best thing...the can does not leak.

Opening the box on the Chatillon / Ametek DPIS-100 force gauge
This unit was new in 2003. Last certified traceable 2011. Wall Wart charger was missing so I rolled my own using junk box parts. The internal NiCad Pack (5 AA in a cluster) seemed to charge up OK. One of the bolts was missing so matched the other, to one from Tractor Supply store nearby. The package included a nice custom foam lined container. Cursory calibration shows the unit operating within specifications. Paint was chipped in various places but it was expected for this vintage unit.
