For the last two years some of us have ben knocking at the door trying to
get passive H Maser like performance, well Corby kicked it in. More work is
needed and it starts with the A3 module. I have spend hours comparing old
and new and I am sure many of the old variety are out there. Nothing I can
put my finger on and only some one that was there could most likely give
the answer. How ever for the last two years I have been looking at the
microwave signal generation and the recently posted paper confirms the importance
of that part of the circuit. This is one of several areas where the group
can make a contribution. What can be learned completing Corby's work may be
applicable like in modifying a FRK. Would be next on my list. So work on
the HP5065A can benefit other Rb's

Adrian,
Thanks for the link. The manual I had was simply missing all details
related to the A3 module but this is superb. And yes, it would be nice
to see the later version.
Bert,
I'm sure most everyone would like to have the level of performance
demonstrated by the Corby modified 5065's. As Magnus has stated there
is probably great interest on the list but many of us can't contribute
in any meaningful way. Keep us posted.
My question re the A3 module is related to the fact that an upgrade
there appears to be necessary to take advantage of Corby's mod. I don't
know the numbers of early versus late A3 modules but upgrades there may
be necessary for many (or most?) owners to take advantage of his work.
Also, is a change to the later A3 module a standalone improvement or
were there systematic upgrades throughout the entire system to go with
the newer A3 module? Is it practical to reverse engineer the later
modules?
Regards,
Bob Darby
