Hi Perrier:
The problem is that the Cs beam tube is similar to a filament light
bulb, i.e. it has a limited life. Most of the used Cs standards that
are on the market have worn out tubes. The 5060 is a very crude first
generation standard see:

for more modern Cs standards see:
http://www.prc68.com/I/FTS4060.shtml
PS I found the FTS 4060 as a new old stock item.
The Thunderbolt GPS Disciplined Oscillator offers very good value for
the dollar.

Gents,
Time nut junkie that I am, I’d like to someday acquire a cesium standard.
Several questions: price for a reasonably working unit. Any specific model
that one should look for? What about the AS IS HP units that show up on epay?
And if you get one how can you know or test it that it’s stable?
TIA
Regards,
Perrier
