Yes Tom you right,
but your example is on a rare Sulzer 2.5 MHz. Another very good
reference can be an HP 106 (quasi impossible to find). This is not valid
for the Racal model as described. I have had several unit of this
standar under test and I keep one for my personal small museum. I have
also a Suzer 5 MHz, it is better than Racal but same as performance to
several others. I have an HP 107Br but it is not working and I cannot
test it at the moment.
All us are looking to find some units in flea market, old and good, but
this is a very rare event due the fact there is a large 5e-10
(OCXO)production or lower, and few top performance products as you
describe.
good luck to us!
