Re: [time-nuts] [Bulk] There seems to be something missing from this eBay item.
Most damages are compatible with a truck fall but he BNC connectors are intentionally destroyed using a screwdriver or the like. For me it looks like it came from an organization with a policy of destroying the equipment that is written off. I've seen this kind of things in the disposal facility of an Air Force Base.

I would not be surprised if some idiot who was charged with data integrity at some operation rendered it "safe" with a hammer and removal of the tube. Could also have been an insurance buy-out damaged in shipment somewhere with the tube pulled for parts. I've dealt with this vendor, they do deal, they don't care. They really have no clue unless you educate them of the value. $100-$300 would take it if you get the right person, and can use the parts.

Re: [time-nuts] [Bulk] There seems to be something missing from this eBay item.
The only problem with these standards is the tube availability since they have that neat little rom which allows the standard to recognize the tube. So using available non-5071 tubes is a challenge unless someone solved the rom issue But the first one is pretty beat did someone have a bad day in the standards lab???
