[time-nuts] Possibly OT - Any interest in a vintage HP/Dymec DY-5842 VLF receiver?

[Paul Davis]

In case anyone was wondering, the receiver has found a home with Paul,  
WB8TSL. He tells me he's got it receiving WWVB already. It will need a  
little TLC, but it was good to see its basic functionality confirmed.

I've posted the scanned copy of the manual on my website at <http://www.pumpkinbrook.com/DY-5842/

Thanks for the interest, and the replies.
