Corby-
That's interesting to know that somebody has performed
the conversion at least once before.
I have a 5060 "donor chassis" and maybe that would be
the one to try and see how I might fit an A11 module
in place of the A20.
Thanks!

Brian,
I once obtained a 5060A that was used in the time and frequency lab at
HP.
I guess it had sentimental value to them as they kept it going long after
the 5061B had come out.
It had a newer tube in it and more to the point it had one of the later
5061A/B style A11 oven controller modules installed.
This provides DC to the hot wire and no acoustic noise!
I can't remember where they shoe-horned it in as it is a taller module
than the 5060As.
These A11 units are obtainable and the modification would not be
daunting.
Best regards,
Corby
