[time-nuts] Connector options for HP10811A?...

[Burt I. Weiner]

Frank,

Can you send me a picture of the connector?

Are you familiar with APEX (Surplus) Electronics in Sun Valley.  The 
sometimes have unusual connectors.  The problem is, you may have to 
look through the place for it.  The good news is that they can tell 
you where to start looking.
