Hi
Regarding the manuals,
I must look in my paper archive. I remember to have two manuals of two types of
those "old test sets". I have even one of the test sets in my "museum".
It will take a while to dig, as I am going to travel for 10 days.
I will come back after that.
Regards
Bernd
I don't know how to use that particular Boonton unit. BUT...
This is a different (more automated) unit which came maybe 10 years later.
The guy does a good job showing how it works and uses it on real crystals:

The DG8SAQ vector network analyzer has a built-in routine to
characterize crystals.
It may not be "correct" to simply plug them on port 1, but the results
are quite
reasonable. The right thing to sort out a bag of NOS crystals and
finding the good ones
or to get a somewhat realistic

Hi Luciano:
I have some web pages about crystals and testing them

Hi
Gizmo’s like that were very common in the days before network analyzers became
good enough to measure a crystal. They always were a troublesome item to keep
running accurately. Without accuracy, their value was a bit limited. Every
place I
know of had a big drawer ( or cabinet ) of “magic
