[time-nuts] HP5065A Rubidium 2nd Harmonic Readings

[John Miles]

How's the photo current?  Does it vary as well?  If not, I don't think I'd
be too worried about the physics package.

I would, however, check the electrolytics on the oven controller board.  You
don't want an oven controller failure.
