[time-nuts] (no subject) - HP 5065A

[Jim/Anna McIntyre]

Thanks for adding the subject in.  I'm not used to this format, and

Sadly, no clock.  It does have a battery, and luckily it hasn't leaked.
I've already received a few emails with some tips, and will post an update
soon.

Thanks again,

Jim
