Datum TymServe 2100 Network Time Server GPS – Display

Datum TymServe 2100 GPS Network Time Server with optional rubidium oscillator, locked to GPS. A Stratum 1 network time source.

 

Paid almost nothing for this mint condition rubidium time server on eBay, because seller thought it had a defective display... listing said it was "burned out". He was selling it for parts, claiming: "untested... powers up, display needs replacement". Cost $102.00.

 

When it arrived, display was set to minimum. Display contrast is easily adjusted by buttons 4 and 9 (lighter to darker). A few pushes and the display was back to normal. It is fortunate that no one reads manuals. Sold it on eBay for $695.00.

 

If you're buying one, avoid the Rb oscillator... for 99% of applications it is a waste of money. Datum TymServe 2100 network time server is obsolete, but if you can buy one in guaranteed working condition very inexpensively, it does the job.
