Does anyone want a cesium beam frequency standard? OF COURSE YOU DO! That's why you're reading this site. You like things like that. Well, I have the thing for you: The 5071A Primary Frequency Standard.
You can actually find these on eBay for $2k to $10k. However, in most all cases, you will need to buy a new cesium source for the clock. I have no idea how much that part costs but I would imagine shipping radioactive material will command a premium on top of the normal UPS / FedEx charges. I think if I ever got a package like that at work it would make people suspicious. (But they already know I’m weird.)
