Really? I thought I've seen Boonton instruments younger than that. Did HP keep the Boonton name for a while after the acquisition?

Boonton radio started in 1934 as Radio Frequency Laboratories and reformed as Boonton Radio Corporation a short time later. Its first product was the Q-Meter. -hp- kept the Boonton name for a couple of years anyway. I don't know if any Q-Meters or RX-Meters were made with the -hp- trade mark on them but the name is on the label on the back.
