OK John - yes that does sound different, and the clues look quite strong! I offered the info on the basis that many manufacturers tend to use a fairly standard pin-out - but maybe not this time!

Hi, Dave --
That doesn't sound entirely comparable to this one, unfortunately. I do
have a partial clue: the seller left about a centimeter of wire on each of
the 6 terminals. They are:
1 Gray
2 Pink/black
3 Bright red
4 Clear (RG174 center conductor; likely the output)
5 Ground (bonded directly to metal can)
6 Either an EFC reference or oven ground (insulated but jumpered to pin 5)
The OCXO from the Tek analyzers uses several different supply voltages (+17,
+15, and +5). I'd guess this one wants to see similar voltages, but I'd
rather not put +17 and +15 volts on randomly-chosen pins and optimize for
minimum smoke.
I could always compare impedance/resistance readings with the one in my Tek
SA, but that wouldn't tell me anything about the required supply voltages
even if it did help determine the pinout.
