[time-nuts] FS: Stanford SR620 counter + SR625 prescaler/rubidium reference

2016-04-01 Thread Eric Garner
All, I'm shedding some equipment and on the chopping block is my Stanford SR620 counter with the SR625 2 Ghz prescaler and rubidium reference. It's been a great counter, and I'm sad to see it go, but I need to sell some stuff to pay for some unexpected, large expenses. I wanted to put it up here

Hi Bert, Disconnect filament from PCB (one end is enough) and connect to regulated DC Power supply. Adjust voltage to 8V and current to 0.3-0.4A. In a dark room should see very small red light. Slowly increase little bit voltage until color goes to orange-yellow. Important - do not move

Did buy a HP53132a counter mainly to use with the RS 232 for high resolution and to have a backup for my very favorite 5345a with 40 GHz head. Sadly the very clean unit has a very weak display to the extend that an 8 looks like a 9. Have the option for a full refund but would like to

Hi Like many others, I have had no problems with the Maxim RS-232 chips running at 3.6V. They have a nice table in the data sheet that includes the proper caps for 3.6V operation. The data sheet clearly states that they will run from 3.0 V to 5.5V supplies. They call out the capacitor values

All, Okay, those two parts worked! The 5V reference plus replacing that opamp repaired the unit to working. Amazing accuracy when my counter is at a 10sec gate (off by all of 0.5hz, which is well within my uncertainty of my counter (Racal-Dana 1992)). Also of interest is the unit went from
