Boy, that looks an awful lot like a re-branded Sulzer 5 with Sulzer power supply! > On Jun 7, 2016, at 1:38 PM, <cdelect@juno.com> <cdelect@juno.com> wrote: > > Hi, > > Saw this while trolling for goodies! > > http://www.mullardmagic.co.uk/racal-ma259-frequency-standard-ra17-ra117-r > af-navy-goldfinger-james-bond-ra1218-ra1772-ra1792-ma50-ra181 > > RACAL MA259 FREQUENCY STANDARD FROM 1965 > > Looks neat!!!! > > Cheers, > > Corby > _______________________________________________ > time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com > To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts > and follow the instructions there.

There's been one for sale on eBay in the US for years, literally, at the somewhat ridiculous price of over $3,000. item: 252399450511 only now slightly reduced! One might wonder what state the 21 NiCads are in after all those years :^) And I couldn't sell my Sulzer for $50 at the swap meet, and that had new NiCads. They are remarkably stable if my Sulzer is anything to go by, and it has a lovely mechanical fine frequency adjustment behind that multi turn dial.
