Then if by some miracle you actually get it set up and working properly the Russians will undercut you forever with their vast stock of IN-18's as no one knows how many they have left and I bet its lots. New manufacture would only work with a tube that people would pay big money for, so a copy o

I would go for picking upon the signal used to drive the motor in a quartz watch or clock, since its usually a nice 1 Hz Tuning fork watches use some electronics to keep the fork vibrating so you could do the same from scratch with any tuning fork as a time base. If I was going to use a mechanica
