Jerry,
The 4700A was one of the very first Rubidium standards made.
The V-4700A came first and had the distinction of having a lamp discharge
oscillator that used two submini vacuum tubes in a flip plop
configuration! It was rated at 10,000 hours.
The X-4700A had the more familiar transistor dis
Jerry would love to see some pictures. Quite likely it will work. Way back
when they used to put a fair amount of RB in so pretty good chances. Sure
you could have various issues like how they ignite the bulb. But those
aren't really that bad to deal with usually.

Hi all,
A number of years ago when I lived in Denver, I knew George Kamas of whom
worked in the (then NBS) Time and frequency Labs. He was able to purchase a lot
of the equipment that they disposed of and I wound up with one piece that I
only had running for a short time. It is a Varian X-4700A
