[time-nuts] Vintage Frequency Measurement

[Chris Albertson]

So far all the answers are about high-end expensive equipment.   There were
also low cost frequency meters.  I have one 40 years ago that was not
expensive.  It wa a simple "frequency to voltage" circuit that drove an
analog meter.   It was made just before the digital multimeters came out,
maybe in the 70's  Sold for well under $100.   I think these were the most
common type.    The others being described here were WAY behind the
hobbyist's budget
