[time-nuts] Frequency counter recommendation

[Reeves Paul]

It's OK for you guys in the USA with lots of old HP gear around but for us
over the other side of the pond we can only dream of those sort of surplus
quantities - let alone the prices!!!!   Still, it's nice to dream.....
A 'purpose built' design of a front end might well have quite a few people
interested over here.

Isn't that the classic New vs Used discussion, though?  Those 5370s 
won't be available for $200 all the time

The used equipment dealers charge more like $750-2k for that, depending 
if it's an A or a B, or if it's calibrated, etc.  The lowest price on 
eBay is around $700
