Chuck, Thanks for your explanations. I gathered from HP Journals from september 1973 that option 004 was indeed an upgrade for the 5060A and 5061A, using a dual Cesium ions beam in a slightly longer tube So size does matter sometimes ! I also read abour the HP 10638A external degauss accessory

Hi Marc, sorry I forgot to mention about the option 004. When the 5060 was being built, there were no high performance tubes as such. Even when the 5061A was originally released, there wasn't one available for it either. The option 004 tube came along later. Because the tube connections were ess

HI Marc: Do you know if the tube in the unit is any good? If it isn't, there isn't a lot of point in trying to fit an oscillator into it. It is likely that the original oscillator was removed and one of the newer style installed in it's place. You would then not need all of the oven position

Hello fellow nuts. I got a non working HP 5060A with option 004: anyone can tell me what that is ? The inside is clean, but the 5MHz oscillator is missing, as well as some controls behind the panel, and strangely some labels have been painted over (the "oven" ones). I am looking now for a manual
