[time-nuts] 5370A upgraded to 5370B ?

2010-02-22 Thread iov...@inwind.it
Last week I bought a very clean 5370B, in near new condition (missing OCXO but 
I have a spare one).
It has a HP tag on the top edge of the rear frame, under the top cover, which 
says:
Date 12 09 97  5370A to 5370B  by 28457
The serial number is 2116A01177. The front panel template is marked 5370B.
I understand that it was a 5370A factory upgraded to B, and I'm wondering if  
such an upgrade might have
been requested by the customer (Digital in the case) and why, or the item was 
a resurfaced old stock, just
sold after the upgrade.
Any idea?

Yes, it is the R-1051 frequency standard, I have one. It was made by General 
Dynamics, and was rated, if I recall, at 1x10E-8 per day.

Hi

Assuming it's an R1051 standard you then have to know who made it. Some of
the later parts made by the replacement parts empire were of questionable
performance / reliability. The side with the markings likely would tell us a
lot.

Simple answer - when it's not Chinese New Year, the auction sites are full
of  $20 OCXO's (including shipping) that will do a *lot* better. If you are
patient, you likely can get below $10. How they can do that with shipping is
a total mystery.

It looks like the 5Mhz frequency standard module from 
a R-1051 receiver. You might find info on it here.
