[time-nuts] GR 1115B

[Bob Camp]

Hi

It's an early Warner resonator so stress is an issue. It is drifting in the right direction. I am also worried that the tuning coil may be tough to replace. I've seen them get pretty fragile after baking for years and years. Wait and see sounds like a good plan. 

Thanks

Bob

Since getting there involves disassembling the dewar flask / oven combination I'm a little hesitant to dive right in. Has anybody torn into one of these before? If so what am I likely to run into? Everything I can see is wide open and very easy to work on. I'm hoping the oven is built the same way.
