Gentlemen,

I just managed to buy an HP5359A time synthesizer on ebay. Has anyone of
you a manual for that device in electronic form available that he can
share with me? My search at the usual places (Agilent, Didier's pages,
Boat anchor manuals) have not led to any result yet.

Best regards

If all els fails I have a terrible and mangled photocopy, from somebody
who obviously had the same problem...

Gentlemen,

Ulrich,

I just managed to buy an HP5359A time synthesizer on ebay. Has anyone of
you a manual for that device in electronic form available that he can
share with me? My search at the usual places (Agilent, Didier's pages,
Boat anchor manuals) have not led to any result yet.

Scott have been working hard on scanning it:
http://rubidium.dyndns.org/~magnus/electronics/HP5359A-draft.pdf

We are going to send it to Agilent, so you should not have had this problem.
There are a few rescanns we are in need for, but maybe I will do them.

Cheers,
Magnus

In addition to manuals, we should start to preserve the (EP)ROM
contents of these instruments, early generation EPROMS are reaching
end of life in a lot of systems.

I already had to replace the 2732's in my HP8568B some time ago.

Bruce Lane has an EPROM repository, and I have one too:

http://www.ko4bb.com/cgi-bin/manuals.pl

Go to 5) ROM Images

It could use more submissions, there are MANY more manuals than ROM images.
I will put the HP 5370A ROMs there soon.

You can upload to your heart content :-)

I agree. I have been thinking the same for some time now. We may have all the
spare components for normal logic and most analogue, but programmable stuff is
fairly easy to restore if you only have the images. EPROMs is not always as
stable as the surrounding logic.

There will always be unobtainables thought. But for EPROMs it feels so stupid
since it is so easy to fix.

Cheers,
Magnus
