To a earlier comment I believe the NASA racks used Sulzers. Reason my 2 X
are NASA and still work just fine. :-)

Paul,
You are right, NASA's Deep Space Network (DSN) used a pair of Sulzers in
their Frequency and Timing subsystem. At some time before 1972 they
were replaced by a HP 5061A, a HP 5065A, and a HP Xtal oscillator,
probably a HP 105B, the Sulzers remained in the rack several years but

I think you will find that Time-nuts agree about the CS and RB usage. RB is

In the Apollo era, NASA's Manned Space Flight Network tracking stations
had a standard frequency rack called PFSS? which included a Varian R-20
among a couple of crystal oscillators (HP or Sulzer, I don't remember
quite well) and perhaps an HP 5065A with a switching matrix,

Hi Adrian,
I found one at ebay, item #251687322849 but the crazy seller wants $249
for it. All his manuals and books are tagged with so exorbitant prices
which is a shame because its commercial value is nil.

Hi

Everything they sell is roughly 10X above the going rate. Most of it has “buy
it now” as an option.
If you need the manual, offer the guy the $25 that it’s worth and see what
