[time-nuts] HP 5061Bs on ebay

[Ke-Fong Lin]

Hi everyone,

So unfortunately, no, I won't be able to buy the newly introduced
5071B (or rather revamped 5071A) :)

However, and you probably know already, there's a few 5061Bs from one
particular seller.
They're pretty tempting, and I'm considering making an offer.

They seem to be later models (late 80s), and some of them even have
"tube good" or "tube ok" sticker on them.
Some are missing bits and pieces (like HV supplies) but with the
cesium tube. And it seems that parts other than the cesium tube, are
easy to find (lots of 5061 with dead tubes to scavange from).
A few seem even customized, perhaps by Frequency Electronics? For
internal use? Seems that they've added some monitoring circuitry.

Any comment, especially on the tubes, their remaining life or lack thereof?
Still a project, but that's really something I start considering.

Best regards,
