[time-nuts] Rubidium Standard

[Bill Hawkins]

Well, if you were to buy my 5065, if I was to sell it,
you'd want to find out why there's no second harmonic
signal. I went in and increased the gain of the preamp
a bit, and got about a year of control out of that.

Now it's still a good-looking box, but not worth the
$750 that I paid on eBay 3 years ago. You'd think an
old man would know better than to fall for a pretty face.

Group, is it possible to replace the physics package?
Does anyone make a replacement?

What sort of "tinkering" would be required? Simply adjusting the C-field
after a long soak test, or getting in and replacing dried out
electrolytics?
