The HP5370 design seems awfully complicated unless it is significantly
faster than a time to amplitude interpolator.  Integrating time
stretching interpolators which were contemporary to the HP5370 were
only 20 times slower and a time to amplitude interpolator is much
faster.

Are there any modern implementations of the interpolator used in the
HP5370?
