In the Apollo era, NASA's Manned Space Flight Network tracking stations 
had a standard frequency rack called PFSS? which included a Varian R-20 
among a couple of crystal oscillators (HP or Sulzer, I don't remember 
quite well) and perhaps an HP 5065A with a switching matrix, 
distribution amplifiers and ancillary equipment..  These were the only 
R-20s that I have ever seen.

Regards,
Ignacio
