Bob, if you are like me, you probably don't know where they all are, even if
you wanted to count them. :)

Except that this is time-nuts, so the only requirement for some of us is

The original post really gave no information about what the objective is.
In the context of that post (Arduino’s etc), it’s a bit hard to guess what
is being attempted. With OCXO’s on the surplus market at < $20 sort of
prices, fiddling with a TCXO may not make much sense. That goes double if
there is also a lack of measurement capability. Buying a $150 GPSDO and a
$500 counter only to check your “I saved $15” TCXO is probably not a
bargain, or a good use of time. Even a cheap OCXO is likely to blow away a
“worked over” TCXO for stability.
No don’t ask how many counters and GPSDO’s I have …. it would take *far*
to long to count all of them…Then there’s all the TCXO’s and OCXO’s ….

But yes, you are correct in that thinking about the big picture is a good
idea.
