[time-nuts] 5071A with ATTENTION flashing

I saw the low CBT temp also and 10 degrees C seem like allot. However in
the 5060/5061 Frankenstein I run the oven at +10 degrees (approx.) to what
the tube asks for. To drive C fumes out of the oven. A possible assumption
is the cooler oven is emitting fewer C's and the emult is trying to make up
for it.
Li
If it were mine and I checked the other suggestions. I would if convenient
actually attempt to raise the oven temp a bit to see what happens. I would
measure current and use an external supply to match it and then gently
increase the current. But from the thread you do not own it and I think a
large amount of money was at stake.
Regards
Paul
