[time-nuts] VLF Phase-tracking receivers.

[Kenneth G. Gordon]

Hello, I'm new here, but would like to get some advice, if possible.

I have been going through my inventory here of items which were given to 
me in an estate some time ago.

Amongst many other things, I find three Tracor or Textran 599 receivers. 
One 599-CS with its manual, a 599 (no suffix) and one labeled R-1086/URR, 
which is very obviously another 599. I have no manual for either of the last 
two.

I also have an RMS Engineering of Atlanta, GA Model 1312 receiver, but the 
manuals (2) I have are for an RMS Engineering model 1310/1311.

So my questions: 

1) Are the Tracor/Textran 599s worth anything other than parts? and 

2) Is there a manual available somewhere for the RMS Engineering Model 
1312?

3) Is the 1312 worth anything to anyone these days?

>From the manuals I have on the 599 models, I am quite impressed with their 
specifications.

I would think about using one or the other of them except that I no longer 
have an extremely accurate 100 KHz signal source.

Thanks,
