Are yu sure that it's an OXCO? According to the manual that I have, the
only option for the 5300B counter unit was option 001, which added a TXCO.
The manual doesn't give any data on the Option 001 oscillator, so can't
confirm that your oscillator is TXCO or OXCO. If it's a TXCO, it won't get
very warm, of course, and there won't be any oven control circuitry.
Is there an HP part number on the oscillator module?
Cheers,
Dave M.
