[time-nuts] 5370A on eBay

[Mark Spencer]

Over the last year or so I've acquired two hp 5370b's with reasonable right of return priviliges.and the units were sold as working from vendors that appeared to know what they were doing. 

The average price was arround $500.00 each including delivery. 

Your mileage may vary.
