I finally got the digital readout to work properly on this beast. I started out using rectified heater voltage to power it but it didn't like it much at all. Worked much better w/a 9v battery.Ended up building a 12vdc p/s inside the rack p/s to power it. As Mondial said it is pretty sensitive so I had to attenuator the oscillator signal. Wasn't quite sure what is grounded on the counter but signal - power - and the mounting hardware had no interconnection. Grounding the power - to the chassis helped a lot and bypassing the 12vdc w/a .1 cap got it to settle down nicely. Works great now from 500kc-30mc. Haven't tried any of the low frequency coils yet.
I'm pleasantly surprised at how stable this old guy is after in little warm up time and the counter proves it.
