Subject: [time-nuts] Cesium Clock Avialable

Hi, I am willing to part with my HP 5061A cesium standard and manual. The
unit was rebuilt and functioning some years ago and not used since then.
There is usable cesium in the tube and the unit worked. I have not tested it
recently. It has a Patek-Philippe analogue clock in the front. The unit is
in great physical condition.  Asking $600 plus shipping from Long Beach, CA.
90806
I also have an ESI 242D resistance calibrator and a Julie primary resistance
standard in an oven. Let me know if you are interested. Very reasonable. 
 Thanks, Doug K6JEY

Well, how about the frequency drift between a pendulum, a tuning fork,
and a crystal.
Atomic standards could be added depending on availability.

A few months ago, I was a judge for the county level middle school
science fair.  (I'm not very good at what they wanted, but that's a
different
problem.)

What sort of interesting time related experiments can a middle school
geek do?

Borrowing serious gear may not be off scale as long as a youngster can
run it.

At the time, at least in the UK, it was a very common extrusion, often 
used for power supplies etc., and in fact I see two on the back of big 
Astron supplies under my bench.  I had some in my "junk box" that even 
had the mounting holes in the correct places.   If anyone needs it I can 
take photographs of the back of my 9475 with the heatsink fitted.
