Our local club, MARCH, has an HP 300A Harmonic Wave Analyzer.
It's a got a four-digit serial number which begins with a "1".

I used to have an HP Model 100 Oscillator. That was HP's first
commercial product. The later generation tube-type HP oscillators
have much the same design, and thus similar historical/technical
interest. I brought home a Model 200 from work a few months ago
(retired from the R&D lab of a company, with asset markings, that
has nearly as rich a history as H-P).
Does others here also value some of their equipment for the asset
tags on it? I have gear from places like the Jet Propulsion
Laboratory for instance.
