Hunter 120A KLOCKOUNTER
Counter
 

Manufacturer: Hunter
Model: 120A KLOCKOUNTER
Year: 1967
Schematic: RE
 
Max. Rate: 5 KHz
Display: dekatron
Digits: 4
Logic: tube

A small timer and event counter. The timebase is a small synchronous motor spinning a disc with holes in it, and an optical sensor. Does not measure frequency directly as there is no gate control.

The 6802 dekatron tubes are specified to a maximum rate of 5KHz, by simple visual observation the counter appears to function up to around 6 KHz.

The photo exposure shows the unit actively counting. The LSD (digit at bottom) has passed through zero, the consequent carry resulting in the increment of the digit above.
