[time-nuts] Anyone know what this counter is?
There's a frequency counter on eBay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemitem=150631192544 but the photo is so poor it's totally impossible to make out a make or model. I contacted the seller who said he is away from the unit and can't tell me what it is or produce a better photo now. Does anyone reconise this? -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting. Q: What is the most annoying thing in e-mail? ___ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.

According to the logo it is a Systron-Donner counter. I don't know the model.

Re: [time-nuts] Anyone know what this counter is?
Looks very like a SD 6052, see one here: http://cgi.ebay.com/SYSTRON-DONNER-FREQUENCY-COUNTER-Model-6052-6052-10-/230589920052?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0hash=item35b03af334 http://cgi.ebay.com/SYSTRON-DONNER-FREQUENCY-COUNTER-Model-6052-6052-10-/230589920052?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0hash=item35b03af334 but the firts one has a N connector at the right input.

Not a 6052 - the 6052 had a BNC input where the type N is on the photo. It is a 6053.

Re: [time-nuts] Anyone know what this counter is?
Further, the 6052 had a very flaky pre-selector design, and were difficult to get to work right across the frequency spec.

Re: [time-nuts] Anyone know what this counter is?
The SD model 6053 had a microwave mixer on the N connector which went to 3.0 GHz. We also selected some to work to 3.5 GHz (at reduced sensitivity) for work on BAe Rapier missile systems.

Re: [time-nuts] Anyone know what this counter is?
I agree, it is very probably a Systron Donner 6053, 3 GHz, nixie. Specs and (bad) pictures scanned from the manual on my server in http://www.spinelectronics.eu/ftp/SD6053.pdf I bet it comes from some remains of John's Radio stock - I remember seeing many of them there, 15 years ago. 73 - Marco IK1ODO ___ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
Re: [time-nuts] Anyone know what this counter is?
Hi, It is really a SD6053, I have a SD6052 and using external 1MHz still running OK. Bought about 15 Years ago as inop and found 500MHz range was bad... also installed a missing 9th digit nixi tubes and the driver IC and ever since it is my favorites.. The 6052 main board has all the IC installed for the 9th digit, except the tube and the driver IC.

Re: [time-nuts] Anyone know what this counter is?
Apols for hijacking the topic, but does anyone have info on another Nixie based frequency counter? It's a Venner TSA6636/2M and uses early Fairchild Micrologic ICs, it's rather ill at the moment, so any info would be gratefully received. Fingers crossed and thanks in advance!

Re: [time-nuts] Anyone know what this counter is?
Search 'systron donner counter' and you get to the Wikipedia article of nixie tue counters, where a bad, but not so horrible picture of a SD 6032? 6052? 4062? (try your own squit-eye OCR). 6052 looks similar, but no N connector (perhaps prescaler option going higher?) see http://cgi.ebay.com/SYSTRON-DONNER-FREQUENCY-COUNTER-Model-6052-6052-10-/230 589920052 -Original Message- From: time-nuts-boun...@febo.com [mailto:time-nuts-boun...@febo.com] On Behalf Of Dr. David Kirkby Sent: Friday, July 15, 2011 5:49 AM To: Discussion of precise time and frequency measurement Subject: [time-nuts] Anyone know what this counter is?
