[time-nuts] Symmetricom X72

[paul swed]

German have you tried with the cover back on?
The external light in your picture could be affecting the system.
The color of the RB lamp looks about right and its nice and bright.
Also most Rbs I have worked on tend to insulate the various ovens and such.
Temperature matters.
Regards
Paul
