I bought one also. Figured it was worth $150 in educational value alone
given I've never done anything with Rb before. Hope it ends up being a good
lesson and not a bad one. hi hi

Subject: Re: [time-nuts] Surplus Lucent RFTG-m-II units in rack shelf
Hello to the group.
A good price but the RBs are quite old I have 4 of these units purchased at
$25 each some 4 years ago. Like the oscillator. Well worth what I paid. RBs
are OK but aged and running out of fumes. I have reheated the rb lamp and
recovered several of the units.
Good luck.
Regards

Congratulations, I was mulling over buying it, even just for resale if the
Rb standard worked its worth way more than the asking price, looking
forward to seeing the results of testing.
