Actually four recent vintage 5061B, one Datum 4040A, and one Datum Rb standard - all working!  Quite a nice payday for him!

If someone wants to pay that much!  The datum rubidium standard the 8040 is even older than the one I got recently but one nice thing is it has multiple outputs on the back... I can't quite read the value in the picture though.
1 and 4 looks like 10MHz but 2 and 3 are something shorter... maybe 5 and 1?  Also the lock light isn't on.

The 4040A looks idk now... the lock light is on but half the connectors are missing and there's stuff taken apart so what does that mean?  It's very similar to my unit but has the switch for storage and normal.  Looks like someone wrote 10 next to the one output left on the back.  It's a gamble but could be something maybe.

Tempting to be honest but I just bought an HP3458A this weekend so maybe I shouldn't risk it  :scared:

What?  I think you've got your wires crossed.  The guy selling the 5061B units is selling a Datum PRFS-202 Rb standard with the lock light on, not an 8040.

I see what you mean.  I'm guessing that's why the price is so much lower.  My first thought was that someone had salvaged the hole plugs that were used when options weren't equipped.  Not an issue.  I did wonder about those missing screws.
