[Boatanchors] ever so slightly off topic - freq counters?

[J. Forster]

I would really consider a Tektronix TM 500 plug-in (DC-503A), HP, or EIP, or possibly Fluke. I'd stay away from Systron Donner and Nixie Tubes.

FWIW,

(Several use nixie TUBES which is how I am tenuously ascribing relevance to boatanchors list!-plus this is the most helpful list I belong to!)
