[time-nuts] HP Stories: An architectural view of the HP 5060/5061 and awkward oscillator adjustments.

[Mod Mix]

Hi Adrian,
sorry for cantacting you directly...
I've got a pair of KS-24361 showing now the red FAULT led on just after 
applying power.
As I don't know much about these electronics: could you pls give me an 
indication where to find a possibly failed tant?
Thank you in advance
Ulli
