I finally paid for a used SR620

http://www.thinksrs.com/products/SR620.htm

today, after the seller has done quite a few tests on it, so hopefully
I should have a good one.

I note Stanford Research also do an SR625

http://www.thinksrs.com/products/SR625.htm

which seems to have two differences

a) It uses a PRS10 timebase
b) Has a 2 GHz pre-scaler.

I wonder if anyone has tried fitting a PRS10 into an SR620 to make it
close to an SR625? I'm not too fussed about having 2 GHz, as I just
bought a nice condition HP 5342A microwave (18 GHz) counter. But I
would be interested in fitting an Rb source in the SR620.
