HP made a line of really nice counters that'll set you back a hundred bucks on the 'bay - the 5328A is a nice counter that is sometimes offered cheap. Manuals and parts are easy to find for that counter as well.
Fluke is tough to support - their old stuff is full of unobtanium FETs and obscure parts. Also, don't be afraid to look for the less pro stuff: Sencore, B&K, and Leader. Ramsey Electronics and others make some nice little "hobby" counters, mostly based on Intersil ICM7216 counter chips. I've got one of the Ramsey's tied to my audio oscillator (my HP 5345 is used for real work...) and it does fine +/- 30 hz or so. Real stable after a warmup. Hope this helps,
