[time-nuts] Re: Active hydrogen maser for sale(?)

[Bob kb8tq]

Hi

Just as a side note, if somebody is insane enough to buy this and bring it into the US …. ( as I 
was planning to do with one of it’s cousins ….):

I happen to have a pair of replacement ion-pumps that *should* fit it somehow. They are rebuilds.
They should be 100% ok. I’ll toss them in for the cost of shipping. The gotcha is that they are
on some magic list of things you can’t export without 5.6 kilotons of paperwork. I’m not going to do 
that. Just too lazy I guess.
