[time-nuts] repairing an HP 5248M crystal oscillator

[Dave Brown]

If the oven in the M version of the 5245 and the 5248 is the same then 
I have some notes here re pulling it apart etc. I have a 5245M and had 
to replace a buffer amp transistor in the oven some years ago.  The 
series regulator in the 'always on' power supply failed short and took 
it out - like the good little fast three legged fuse that it was.....
 I recommend that over voltage protection be added and a more rugged 
regulator pass transistor be fitted to the power supply while you have 
it on the bench, just in case. The 5248 supply may have these matters 
attended to- not sure.
