Taka thats exactly why in general we time nuts get the old sort of working
equipment.
We are on the tail end of life.
Cesium tubes can not be refurbished economically as discussed many times on
time nuts.
Search the archives quite good reading.
When a tube goes you have to find another system and save the old for spare
parts for your newer unit.
Sorry to say this. This is also why I do not run my cesiums all of the
time. Just as needed.
