[time-nuts] Datametrics clock

[Dave Brown]

Tom
I'll take a few more shots and post them.  There IS a power supply 
problem but I hope its no more than a fried 5 volt regulator or pass 
transistor.

This is a 'normal' clock. There's a sidereal version as well which I 
don't have as yet-still trying to con it out of a friend of mine who 
scored these and associated stuff from the USN shutdown of their Black 
Birch astro observatory here in NZ a few years back.

Other items in that particular auction lot were some HP 105Bs, Tracor 
phase comparators and some 599 rxs, Omega gating units and rxs etc 
etc.
I was at the auction but he didn't tell me till later that all this 
stuff was buried in a large packing case under a heap of used cold 
weather clothing. He naturally got the pallet load for a song and 
quietly toook it all home before he let me in on the deal!
I'm fairly sure he will let me have one of the sidereal clocks soon as 
he's having a big clean out and wants me to help him do the business.
