Microsemi 3120A sold on eBay
So, who's the lucky winner? Anyone on here? That's the first one of these
I've seen in the "secondary market," so to speak.

More importantly what license keys does it include:
"The base model of the 3120A allows customers to measure phase noise and
ADEV. Upgradeable software options for customers to measure AM noise,
HDEV, MDEV, TDEV, and jitter, along with the ability to set test mask
limits or to use ...
They're essentially the same as the original TimePod 5330A specs ( http://www.miles.io/TimePod_5330A_user_manual.pdf page 11). The 3120A doesn't display noise at offsets below 1 Hz, though, while the 5330A went down to 0.01 Hz. Also, some of the TimePod features are "added-value" software options in the 3120A, but it's not clear if this unit came with any of the license keys.
The final selling price seems fairly reasonable considering the sparse details provided by the seller. If someone on the list bought it and it doesn't have the software CD, drop me a note offline and I'll hook you up.

It is interesting to note that the seller is in Salem, MA, a few miles south of Microsemi in Beverly, MA.
PS: Here is a list of the many acquisitions they have made:

OT, a bit: my ham radio elmer worked for Bomac in Beverly, MA, which
became Varian, which I just googled and indeed was bought at least in
part by Microsemi! The P2V Neptune aircraft used one of their
hydrogen thyratrons to fire the megawatt search radar.
We now return you to time/frequency stuff....

Hi
There’s a cluster of time and frequency outfits up in the Salem area. Some have
been there for a long time indeed. The EG&G / Perkin Elmer Rubidium guys
are one that comes to mind. MTI is a bit further north, but still in the same side
of the Boston urban sprawl.

While we're at it, whoever picked up the SGC-1500 from the same
seller[1], if it actually boots I'd be interested in talking to see if
the one I picked up a while back can be recovered.
Given that Microsemi discontinued them back in 2013[2] I doubt much will
come from them.
