[time-nuts] (no subject)

[J. L. Trantham]

Bob,

I do not know about the E1938A but I have repaired 10811's utilizing the
excellent troubleshooting section of the 10811 manual.  If you are an EE and
are comfortable with small components, the 10811 should be no problem.

I do not know of a similar manual for the E1938A.

Steve,
I was looking for insight.  For instance, is there a power up sequence for 
the +5 & +12V?  Anything I can look at before I dive in to the can?

This is not the first HP oscillator I have that has gone dead on me.  I have

a 10811 that went south on me a few years back.  This is just getting 
expensive to replace them when they go bad.

And yes, if there is someone out there that can do it, I would consider 
sending it out for repair.  I'm an electrical engineer, but I also know my 
limitations, and although it would grate at me to send it out for repair, it

would be the right thing to do (if the price is right)

Bob

  Well, if your not prepared to open it up to fix it yourself, are you
  looking for someone else to fix it for you (your postings need
  clarifying)?
