Hi, Since there is plenty of experience here, I want to locate info about an OCXO. It is an HP 00105-6013, that probably came from a Rb or Cesium frequency standard. Al pins and connectors are labeled with its function and even it has the crystal temp marked on the label. TYA, Ignacio __

With TV stations shifting to digital, how would a surplus analog video distribution amplifier do? There should be a lot of high end amplifiers made by Grass Valley (Tektronix) available soon. These are used in a frame. The input loops through the frame. Each amplifier has 6 isolated outputs. D
