Greg-
I, for one would be very willing to take a chance on one or two tubes
and see if there is any life left in them, but sadly I live in Va.
I have e-mailed a friend in Boulder to see if he ever heads out in
your direction but I don't think he does very often.
Please keep me in mind if you uncover a way to address the shipping
issue or if another steps up to buy the lot, as I would be willing to
contact them as well.
Regards,

Regarding the various discussions regarding CS reservoir depletion...
I should probably mention that I'm helping the family of my friend,
the late
Chuck Norton (who owned Frequency Standards and Services in Colorado
Springs) with their sale of the equipment Chuck had in his lab and
inventory. We've been selling the more "generic" equipment on eBay,
but
holding some of the time & freq. stuff for now in case time-nuts
folks want
some of it.
There's a large qty of used (mostly HP) Cesium Beam Tubes. I didn't
count
them yet, but going by memory I'd say there might be 10 or 15 of them.
Probably mostly for the HP 5060A and HP 5061A.
If anybody's interested, I can inventory the exact part numbers of
those
tubes for you. Keep in mind they're all used tubes in unknown
condition. So
we must assume they don't work. Probably they can be had for a very
low,
reasonable price - but the family says that, due to the DOT-SP11401
paperwork & complications when shipping cesium beam tubes, they
would prefer
local pickup (in Colorado Springs) on the tubes. So that might make it
difficult - unless someone will be passing through Colorado Springs,
or they
have suggestions on how to easily ship the tubes?
Contact me off list if for further information.
My best,
Greg
P.S. There are also quite a few HP 5061A and other similar time &
frequency
pieces (e.g., several HP 5087A, etc.). I've not yet tested any of
that
stuff, so don't know the condition. Probably at least his main
cesium beam
standard (that was part of his NIST time & frequency service system)
works
well.
