Well someone got to him. It's no longer for sale.
Old sod didn't realize what he had! :)

Yes, 05061-6077 is the Standard Performance CBT. can anyone read any part of
the serial number? It might help to narrow down the age. The last 5 digits
are actually more important than the first 4 before the "A".

Somebody tossed an HP 5061 on the scrap-yard. Look up the value of an HP
5061
in unknown condition and there you are. Chances are the tube is gone.

On page 6-18 of the HP 5061A service manual you find it listed as the Cesium
Beam Tube Assembly, reference designation A12 if you care. From the looks of
it
this is the standard performance tube.

HP XXXXX-6YYYYY is parts of HP XXXXX. HP XXXXX-9YYYY is manuals for HP
XXXXX.
Usefull rought pointer derived from "On the large label is has part number
05061-6077".

Cheers,
Magnus
