[time-nuts] Oscillatek 2352

[Bob kb8tq]

Hi

Oscillatek was acquired by K&L in the early 1980’s. K&L was acquired by Dover in 
the mid 1980’s. Dover acquired Vectron Labs in the early 1990’s. All data on the 
Oscillatek parts is long gone …. even to the person who ran the company ( = me ) …. 

Simple answer: 

Hook up a power supply and feed the tune input. See what you get. On a part that is 
many decades old. That’s going to be far better data than anything from “way back when”.
