[time-nuts] General Radio frequency standard question

[Pete Lancashire]

There is a GR group on Yahoo but its pretty quiet.


I joined when I started restoring one of the GR early synthesizers a 1161A,
the a 1115A
oscillator (the one where the dewer got destroyed in shipping).


I have one of the tuning fork units, it is in very bad condition but cost
me $1 at a
swap meet.
