Hello Neville and group.
I have one of these and still use it as my frequency standard after my
fettling to get it on 198kHz.
Also have the manual for serials prefixed E538 (c. 1965) and some
scribblings of what I did to use it on the 'new' frequency.
After converting, the jitter is pretty awful but good enough for my
purposes.
If you can't find it elsewhere and would like some of the manual scanned
please let me know.
