[time-nuts] Downsizing dilemma, HP 3335A

[ed breya]

You don't save these kinds of synthesizers for high frequency 
coverage, but for their 10 to 11 digit frequency resolution. If you 
anticipate needing that, then of course they should be kept and 
fixed. The long-obsolete telecom standard connectors and ranges are 
pretty much useless - sacrifice that one first if you need parts for 
the others.

If you need to justify keeping them, you can use them for practical 
everyday applications. For example, each one can store a telephone 
number - as long as the power doesn't go out.
