Hi All, The HP 105B is in the HP catalogs for a 33 year period, 1968 through 2000. That is a 33 year run. Is this an HP/Agilent/Keysight record? Does anyone know how the newer units were fabricated?
It is just barely mentioned in the year 2000 catalog. The price went up from $1800 to $9700 in 26 years. About 5.5 times the original price. I wonder what the price was in 2000. I was looking at the old HP catalogs at http://hparchive.com/hp_catalogs for the HP105B Quartz Oscillator. The 1967 catalog has the 106A and 107AR/BR on page 538, but no 105A/B 1968 $1800 p594-597 1969 $1800 p648-651 1970 $1800 p624 1972 $1950 p237 1973 $2145 p284 1974 No catalog or supplement published 1975 $2470 p287 1976 $2725 p276 1977 $2950 p274 1978 $3250 p300 1979 $3500 p282 1980 $3750 p284 1981 Not listed 1982 $5750 p307 1983 No price p281 1984 No price p275 1986 $5800 p257 1987 $6400 p340 1988 $6800 p467 1989 $7500 p487 1990 $8600 p491 1991 $9000 p510 1992 $9500 p556 1993 $9700 p498 1994/5/6 No catalog on the site. 1997 No price p493 1998 No price p503 1999 No price p508 2000 "The HP 105B quartz frequency standard uses the HP 10811D and is available as a complete standalone instrument." p 491 _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@lists.febo.com -- To unsubscribe send an email to time-nuts-le...@lists.febo.com To unsubscribe, go to and follow the instructions there.
