I've received a few expressions of interest. So I've put up a few
pictures at <http://www.pumpkinbrook.com/DY-5842/> , just the front,
back, and top views. When I received this, there was no top or back
panel, I didn't remove them for the pictures. In those pictures,
you'll see that there's some accumulated crud, just dust really, that
could be cleaned off. But there it is in all its glory, warts and
all. In fact, it's old enough the orange paint has been peeling off
the meter needle :)
It's 19" rack mount, the manual says 10-5/32" high and 16" deep. It
also says 35 lbs, but it really doesn't seem that heavy to me.
Someone suggested that I pdf the manual, and I can certainly do that,
but it will be next week. I'll post it when I get it done.
Thanks for the interest.
Oh, and I'm in Massachusetts btw.

Subject: [time-nuts] Possibly OT - Any interest in a vintage HP/
Dymec DY-5842 VLF receiver?
Fellow time-nuts:
I've got a circa 1964 DY-5842 VLF receiver. This is (was) operated in
conjunction with an external time interval counter to make a
frequency
comparison. So you would select WWVL for example, and use that as
your
primary standard for comparison to your local standard. It's got 5
crystals
in it: 16, 18, 19.8, 20, and 60 kHz (listed as GBR, NBA, NPM, WWVL,
WWVB).
It works and I have the manual. The thing is, the interest in
something
like this is bound to be a bit narrow, so I thought I'd mention it
here.
So if there are any collectors, equipment museums, etc. that might be
interested in this, please let me know. I'm a bit sentimental about
this
thing, it's sort of a bit of history, and from what I can tell,
somewhat
rare (doesnt make it worth anything though :). Since it's a bit of a
curiosity, I'd like to pass it to someone that might be interested
in it
rather than just tossing it. I can always provide more details to
anyone
that wants them.
Best regards,
Paul Davis - K9MR
