Tom McCormick passed away last month. Fascinating guy with an interesting
history and varied interests!He had a collection of time and frequency
stuff that was amazing. Had a heads up that the majority of Tom
McCormick's electronics lab, Cs , Rb, standards, frequency counters,
frequency comparators and LOTS of other stuff is being sold by Solano
traders on eBay. I took a quick look and recognized some stuff, Austron
1210D, SRS620,Tracor 895A, but a lot of the Cs standard stuff looks to
not be listed yet. Anyway keep an eye out for goodies.
Cheers,
Corby
Thanks much for that heads-up, Corby. A quick link to the seller is:
https://www.ebay.com/str/solanotraders
They have ~12,000 items and sorting by price is interesting. Need some
turbo pumps? Searching with "TC" in the title appears to narrow to 600+
items from the Tom McCormick estate. What a stunning collection of stuff.
I'm sorry I never got to meet him in person. He was one of those time
nuts at heart who never actually joined the mailing list. I traded some
clocks with him many years ago. Sorry to see him go.
