[time-nuts] HP 5062C service manual, schematics, or power supply troubleshooting tips

[Tim Schulz]

Hi Dave - thanks for the note.  The plastic eject handle was completely 
brittle and fell apart on removal, but the PCB still seems pretty 
solid,  I have seen worst from early ceramic decoupling cap failures.  
This probably means that there are lots of 5062s out there without 18v 
supplies. Are people adding fan cooling to their systems to extend the 
life of the hardware?
