Scored A Nice Frequency Counter On Ebay

Did you get it from "TryC2"? I have bought about two dozen pieces of test equipment from them with only one failing to meet standard.
I bought this one for $88.00 201742724821 Plus 15.02 shipping.
I don't know if it is accurate yet I'm waiting for access to a calibration standard.

Yours is a good catch too!

I have a contact here in town that has a cal lab. I just need to get out there when he will let me use his laboratory.
Did they give you a quote for calibration? Did you test it out so you would know if it was off, because I wouldn't be surprised if it was still dead on. Just thought it would be interesting to see,
If you're going to set up a shop for repairing radio gear get yourself a 10MHz Rubidium or GPS Frequency Standard and you don't need to worry about calibration for any of your gear that measures frequency which can use an external 10MHz clock source.
I wont need anything like that for quite a while. I am just starting to learn the basics. If they replace any bad parts like electrolytics and recalibrate it at that lab, that will be more than I need. This was a pretty decent counter back in the day.
It has a problem with the on/off switch, but did light up. I sent it to a repair and calibration shop. They are going to fix that, check it for bad caps etc, and calibrate it.
