Hi, I am new here.
Are the Rubidium cell AND Rubidium Lamp still available either from
HP/Agilant or another source? I am thinking of buying a HP-5065A and it
would be nice if these critical parts were still available!
They are not the parts that fails

Shhh, I was hoping he'd succeed in his apparent attempt to drive 5065A
prices down, so I can round up a few more for myself!
$78 is a great price for an LPRO-101, certainly, but you can't compare them
to the HP rubidiums. The latter's specs (as well as its secs) are vastly
better.

Edgardo: For the asking price, you can do a LOT better than this Hp.
There will be more opinions from more knowledgeable time-nuts regarding

spend anything like $1k US to get what you need.

unable to find a USA seller. Most of them are being offered by chinese

Good morning. Like probably many others, owning or collecting nice
pieces of equipment probably drove me to consider an HP unit, instead
of wisely doing some research on more specific and technically
feasible options. The search is only beginning. Your advise is
welcome. Thank
hi Edgardo,
The best one in that price range is probably the PRS-10 from SRS. New it's
about $1500, sometimes they go used for $500 if you can find one they are very
desirable. Can be locked to an external GPS, a huge plus. Their tube is
designed for 20+ years lifetime.

I would think something in the $500 range for a working unit would be
worth
considering, depending on options, condition, etc. Anything lower would

better. More depending how 'addicted' you might be to these.
