[time-nuts] 10811 warmup

[Jason Rabel]

Well, we shall see, hopefully I'll get a chance to mess with it tomorrow,
but more than likely it will be Monday. I skimmed over the end of the manual
for some troubleshooting and the schematics. I haven't read them carefully
yet. The oven warms up (both via the signal pin and the whole housing is
warm to the touch) so at least some part of it is in working condition.

Is it okay to power up the main assembly once it is removed from the outer
shell / insulation?

Is there any way to test just the crystal can easily (assuming it doesn't
rattle)?

Also - Thanks Rick for the tip on removing the assembly. ;)
