Barbouri's Electronics Projects
Restoring vintage electronics along with designing and building new circuits. One eye looking into the past, the other looking into the future.
I finally came across a hard to find HP 5306A Multimeter/Counter paired with the HP 5300B Display module. It is an interesting module as it converts resistance and DC/AC voltage to a frequency that it then displays on the 5300B display, along with a frequency capability of 40 Hz to 10 MHz.
Several decades ago I owned two Beckman / Berkeley model 7360–20 Universal EPUT® and Timer’s. Because of their size and weight and an upcoming move, I gave them away to a friend. In the past few years I have somewhat regretted that decision, even though it was probably for the best. So when I saw this 7360 up for auction, I decided to make an offer on it. I was able to purchase it at a reasonable price, but as expected the shipping was a bit high due to it’s size and weight.
Cleaning up and photographing a Hewlett Packard 5301A 10 MHz counter plug-on module for the 5300 series modular measuring system.
Cleaning up and looking at a bunch of plug-on modules for my Hewlett Packard 5300B mainframe modules, after purchasing a new unit. It seems that I am starting to collect quite the range of modules for my HP 5300 systems since my original 5300B Measuring System back in 2017.
Repairing and clean-up of a Hewlett Packard (HP)5300B Measuring System with a 5305B 1,300 MHz Counter module.
This was supposed to be just a clean-up project, but this one turned into a bit more work that I had expected.
