[time-nuts] Difference between HP 5370A and 5370B

[David Kirkby]

Thanks a lot Jim.

I was thinking of buying one. Although the 5370B seems a bit more 
expensive, there does seem to be a lot more information on them around, 
which is a definite advantage.

When you speak to xxxxx, I'd like to know if these have ovens as 
standard, or whether that is an optional extra.
