In case anyone was wondering, the receiver has found a home with Paul,
WB8TSL. He tells me he's got it receiving WWVB already. It will need a
little TLC, but it was good to see its basic functionality confirmed.
I've posted the scanned copy of the manual on my website at <http://www.pumpkinbrook.com/DY-5842/
> for those that are interested.
Thanks for the interest, and the replies.

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
