I've actually got an EPUT with the prescaler good to 1GHz. Complete with manuals.
Too many BA's, not enough time..

Hi

I *think* I still have a case of gas filled dual triodes sitting in the shed. 
The Beckman EPUT meter used them in the decade divider / display sections. I 
don't have any of the meters any more, but I do have the spare parts for them. 
Go figure ....

They actually make pretty good low speed logic gates.
Tube based clock driving neon bulbs for the display anybody?

http://transistorclock.com/  has a very interesting (though a bit expensive) kit for 
sale.  A 10" x 11" circuit board sporting nearly 200 transistors and 600 diodes 
to drive six seven-segment displays.  Suitable for framing...  As delivered runs on 60hz 
but there is a note about conversion to 50hz mains.  You can buy a  bare board, just the 
components or a full kit.

You must see it to believe it!
Bah humbug! Stupid modern day design, it'll never be any good, you
need to use valves to make real gear :-)

Well, they do make dual triodes which are convenient for making those 
Eccles-Jordan circuits.

I can't help wondering if you go do better than the 4 bit counter:4-10 decoder:10-7 
decoder.  Yeah, simple diode matrices in an AOI configuration are easy, but surely a bit 
of work (as in digging up archaic designs) could find a "lower part count" 
approach.  Time to use that Karnaugh map.
