[time-nuts] HP 5275A

[Adrian Godwin]

Glenn,

I think you're describing what Robert has photographed.

There are some of those packages, but they're the 2N1373 driver transistors
and have a smaller mounting hole. I dismounted Q2 and found it's really a
2N2556 (but still T05) and similarly mounted, but in a bigger stud. The
threaded part is wide enough to hold the package itself.

Since the insulating washer can now be kept safe, I can probably just punch
or heat the T05 out (it has a hole right through the stud).
