Hp 5316A Frequency Counter - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Hp 5316A Frequency Counter for sale, good condition seems to work well.

Bought used in April 2017 sent for calibration then promptly put on a shelf and not touched again until today. Comes with option 004 circuit board to add a better oscillator if needed see here, https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testge...ency-standard/

Pic shows reading from function generator which reads correct, other functions I've not tested other functions. Its does pass its switch on health check.

£50 I will post at buyers expense but do prefer pickup

HP counters are truly superb. I use a 5328A with a 1GHz input C-channel. I run mine with an external clock from a GPS unit with 10MHz output, so it is good to 1:10^13. Just because.

£50 is a bolted-on bargain for a 5316A.

If anyone wants a PCB to make the option 004, have about six left.

Evening Chris,

My Black*star counter failed recently

so may I add my name to the hat if you're running one? I can arrange collection (my daughter lives in Didsbury).

Many thanks & best wishes,

Guy
