Nice find.

It will be interesting to see if they still work and what you do with them.

I wonder what clocking sources are used in them? Typical quartz oscillators or something more advanced/expensive (especially for clock quality measurements)?

Some good data points on running a business here.

We probably made between 150 and 250 of them and I think they were sold for about £350. It might have been a little more but certainly no more than £500.

If we take the best case in those days: 250 units sold, £500 each.
Did this product generate a viable profit? Enough to cover R&D, BOM, production, and expected margin?
