Now I know where to look when the device is disassembled. It is not 
possible to see when assembled.

This is the colour I have. Notice that it is a Rubidium/Xeon mixture.

I have now adjusted the OCXO and the loop pulled in every adjustment

measurements remains. :)

Thanks for everyone contributing! :)
