[GPS_Standard] A bit of progress on my gps disciplined oscillator project

I have made a bit of forward progress on my GPS-DO.

I finally worked up the gumption to gut out this old HP-5328A counter.
I bought the counter only for the oscillator.  The counter itself is very
dirty and doesn't appear to work right other than to read it's own
oscillator and display 10.000.000.

I gutted it out except for the power supply board.  The voltages look
good, and I think I will use this supply for my GPS-DO, at least
to get all of the pieces working together.  Then I will measure the
ripple and see if I need to make other power supply arrangements.

I have all of the main parts now:  Resolution-T GPS, RS232
level converter for the GPS, GPS-DO board, oscillator and power
supply.  It remains to be seen if I will have to boost the 1PPS signal from
the Resolution-T to integrate it with the GPS-DO board.
