I have an old HP catalog which does not show a year but the picture on the front and back looks like an aerial view of the ocean with many things superimposed. They include a rocket, an Atlas Centaur I think, several test instruments, a disembodied scope screen and an HP knob with calibrations on its skirt. The back has the moon, a radar scope, and a spectrum display. In this catalog are an HP 260A and an HP 250A. The pictures have exactly the same control layout as the original Boonton instruments. The University where I used to teach had an RX meter which upon reflection had an HP 4 digit model number. I don't remember what it was.
Regards.

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

Wow. I didn't know HP bought Boonton. I always liked Boonton
instruments, probably because I was born in Boonton. When did HP buy them?

I am looking for a couple of HP oldies. The 260A Q meter and the 250A RX
meter. I can't find any on eBay. These two instruments were carried over
from Boonton when HP bought them out.
