Default RF Testgear in Suffolk Auction

I just spotted the attached auction item. A large amount of 60s/70s RF testgear being auctioned on January 17th. All good quality, if elderly. It's lot 450.
Too far for me but someone nearby might want to have a look

Yes there's some good stuff in there. Under the table almost centre there appears to be a Quartzlock Off Air Standard which will have outputs of probably 10,5 and 1 MHz. This unit is sitting on top of what looks like the side view of a fairly old Racal frequency counter. The two would be used together for better accuracy. Old, but we still use them up at Winter Hill. There also appears to be a Marconi AF power meter.
Just about all you would need for an instant workshop!!

There's an early vector network analyser there. The 8690 sweepers have plug ins (plug in the back and their output connector pokes out a hole on the front. I suspect the two will have different rangges of plug in. The 8660 synth runs hot, very hot. Later units had a huge fan retrofitted. At bottom left, stood on its rear end is the output plugin for the 8660.

The 140 series with plug in spectrum analysers were very good.

VERY well worth £200-400.
