Here is the link to some fine pictures and the schematic. Its uasable. http://worldpowersystems.com/J/instruments/GR723/ As a heads up the AC power comes in and is immediately doubled. Loaded something like 164 VDC. Reg tubes 107 V. Osc draws 35 Ma at 135V B+. Fil 1.42V@47 ma. Distortions quite

Well we are kicking butt on 723 oscillators. I have the 1000 hz model and found it at the MIT flea about June. Bad rectifier section. Cap was good though I carefully reformed it. Have to say what attracted me was the case and then the realization of what it was. It works very well so now I can

Another fascinating tuning-fork standard was used together with a Synchronome to govern the timing of pulses of Morse code on undersea telegraph cables in the British empire’s globe-girdling telegraph network. Timing was derived electromagnetically from incoming Morse code signals (a bi-polar

Here's a look at a 723-C (1,000 cps) and how its power supply cap was handled and a good look inside https://www.eevblog.com/forum/reviews/vintage-teardown-general-radio-723-c-vacuum-tube-tuning-fork/ The GR Experimenter
