[time-nuts] CS reservoir depletion

[J. Forster]

Bob, is there any indication in you have to "run it for a while" depends
on how long it has been off?

Does a crystal oscillator that has been off for 50 years, take longer than
one that has been off for a week?

I ask because the 1818.18 Hz crystal in a LORAN-A Test Set I picked up is
currently running at about 1818.48 Hz. It's been off since about 1945.

Best,

-John
