I and cleaning up some used gear I have collected over that last six months. One of the pieces, an HP 5314A Counter has one hole drilled on the top and one in the bottom. Why would anyone do that? The only I can think is some radical way of securing the unit so it does not walk out of the lab.
Any thoughts?
It ran too hot and needed additional venting?
One of the worker threaded some cable through it and wore it as a necklace to the last company party?
Someone thought it had a mental disorder and gave it a lobotomy?
People are just stupid at times?
I'm going with vk6zgo and guessing trimmers as well.
