[time-nuts] HP 10811 update

[paul swed]

Well learned quite a bit Q4 does have an issue. Further there is a reason
it has such high Beta. Its must deliver 30 ma to the oscillator and buffer.
I was quite surprised by this current level. I was  guessing the oscillator
was a few mils and the buffer maybe 8.
The 2n3904 simply does not cut it. Need to do some digging in the ole
transistors.
Regards
Paul.
