Hi Fellow Time-nuts, My HP5370B arrived yesterday. I thought I needed to have one.
The bad thing was that the packaging was not really as I would have wishes, so the package had been misshandled and was "soft" on the walls. The left handle was severly bent and also the lower back-foot was twisted out of place and the screw was bent. The display rate knob was also bent, but still turns. Looks like a separate incident. Opening things up and everything looks OK. I also did the arrival checkout and it checks out OK. The oscillator don't seem to be too off in frequency so I don't think that it was hurt by the crash. I have been fairly fortunate so far in shipping in general, so this was a border case. This will not be my only counter thought, so I have a higher tolerance for discrepancies. It is certainly not DOA, just a bit beat up. Besides those issues, it looks like a good unit and I will need to clean the cover off. I will trim it up eventually (that is, later this weekend, maybe today). A few of the tests in the full program could be a little hard to do with the gear I have where as many will be fairly easy. Just came to realize that I now have 4 HP 10811 oscillators throughout my instruments. However none laying on the side. Yeat. Cheers, Magnus _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list [email protected] https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts
