content: in fact how about £50 + free postage in UK cos mines already got one fitted and this will just sit on shelf collecting dust which is a total waste.

content: It is probably not a question of price with this item not selling.You have to find someone that has a HP counter and needs this option.You are probably more successful by offering it on ebay.I bought one of these a few month ago, when I repaired and updated my 53132A counter.https://www.eevblog.com/forum/repair/agilent-53132a-repair-%28and-possible-upgrade%29/It made a big difference in stability and accuracy.Here is a picture from today of the counter, hooked up to the GPS 10 MHz oscillator and 1 hour warm-up.No external reference input.So, I am very happy with this kind of upgrade to the counter and can only suggest it to anyone that is not sure.

content: Thanks HigvoltageYour correct ebay is probably the best place, Just not happy the them at moment as i think they are starting to get a bit greedy and as a seller our protection from scams from customers is very low.I was hoping that if anyone had stuff to swap it would be easier on the forum as im not that worried about making money just hate to see this sit and gather dust and im always open to other bits to fiddle with.The one in my counter is amazing the difference in accuracy is simply increadable and definetaly a worthwhile and easy upgrade.Just wish i had not been so hasty and ordered this one before my counter was delivered only to find it already had onethat will teach me to be a bit more paitent.Probably stick it on ebay in next few daysBrianG0WZB
