<x-flowed>I don't know how much use a frequency counter is for you, I use mine about
every four or five months to check if an interrupt generator on Bally/Stern
MPUs is working, but nothing else these days. Older silver age videos (B&W
non microprocessor based) were the biggest user of this tool, good for
following the clock divider...Often a frequency counter is built into other
test items-scopes, multimeters, etc, that is the route I would go to reduce
shop clutter...

As for the Pace, well, the tool is not that inexpensive. I'll buy the
station from you if you want to get rid of it, I have a shop use for the toy...
