[time-nuts] Fwd: HP 53131A Power Off Mod

[Wayne Holder]

The PCBs and Parts arrived and, after putting everything together and
testing it, it all seems to work fine.  And, to document everything, I've
put up a web page at my web site that describes the mod and how to
implement it:

I had two spare board sets left.  One is claimed, but if someone would like
the other set, send me your address and I'll send them your way.
