The description made it sound much worse than it was though. I've seen brassboards of ultimately highly successful products which were far worse than that.

John WA4WDL Thanks, John. There are a couple of these still around. I think that particular specimen was sitting in a remote Minnesota cabin for many years. I have more photos of it somewhere if anyone is interested.

Hi Without a working tube (or a way to rebuild a tube) it’s simply a pretty piece of history. That particular one would take a bit of TLC simply to get it to the pretty stage.

I do like the name Atomichron NC 2001 - pretty cool name for something made in 1954. I agree - before I would buy it I would have to see some shots of the innards. I think the seller did himself a misservice by not putting it in a more orderly location before posting that picture.

Re: [time-nuts] national nc2001 atomic clock on eBay
Clearly the CS is pretty neat and would be curious whats inside. Hacked off cables missing boards etc. $2500 is one heck of a lot of money for what appears to be scrap metal. So here is the deal of the day, for $2900 you can buy my HP5065a RB and it actually works. For that money I will throw in shipping for free. But please respond before midnight 11/17. :-) Regards Paul WB8TSL On Sun, Nov 17, 2013 at 9:41 PM, Bob Camp li...@rtty.us wrote: Hi He took the picture 20 months ago. If he was going to neaten things up, there was plenty of time to do it. I doubt he knows what he does or does not have. It may even be part of an estate. Based on it’s appearance, and it’s known issues (tube !!) why would one want to pay the shipping on 850 lbs (plus crating), let alone what they are asking. What are the odds of any of us getting that beast to work in anything near it’s original configuration? Yes you could rip part out and transplant a modern modular Cs into it. That makes it a very large box for a very small Cs. I have paid a lot of money over the years for “stuff”. I’m not in any way saying that buying “stuff” is a bad idea.
