[time-nuts] Cathodeon TCXOs??

[Alan Melia]

Thanks Roy, yes I know several peple who worlled for Pye / Philips, and the
firm I was involved in was a dealer for a while in the 80s. I have some data
but not on those units. I cant remember when Philips bought them but it was
a "kiss of death" !

Thanks and Best Wishes
