[time-nuts] Re: HP 5065A on ebay

[Robert Deliën]

It's only a 4 hour drive for me, so I seem to have a $400 advance :-), tempting. I've always wanted a HP5072.
Many, many years ago, I got very far getting my HP5065 working, thanks to the very knowledgeable people in this list.
Is it a common or well known failure mode, 9.2GHz PLL test fail?

Always fun to take a look and some very attractive starting bids. But then
as time goes by it will get crazy as always. Then $400 or so in shipping
and heavens knows what customes will be. Oh well nice to look.
Thanks
Paul
