I thought it was clever too, and it works pretty well - it's easy to turn the 
dial until the strobe freezes the reed motion.  That reflector you found was 
just the thing, it looks great.

Indeed.  The frequency window with the side-view dial would be hard to build, 
but it's easy to read and a nice touch in the commercial product.

With an all-valve GPS disciplined reference!  And the biggest valve of all will 
be the caesium fountain, right?
