The "3010" part is the encoded date for that particular series (10th week of the 30th year past HP "year one"), and the "A" indicates that it was manufactured in the US. [I've forgotten what "year one" was for the Instrument Division. It was 1960 for the calculators -- I/D may also have used 1960.] Best regards, Charles ___ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
[time-nuts] HP 3010Axxxxx oscillator
Perry, The 3010A prefix identifies that date it was made. It should also have a 10811A marking. The resistor value is for applications needing precise EFC. Usually found in HP 5065A, 5061A, and 5061B. If it also has a 60109 marking it has slightly better short term stability at one Tau. Specs are otherwise the same as any 10811A. There is no outer oven! Since the design is a complete departure from the original 105 oscillator it makes sense they issued a new part ID. The 10811A started to go into the 105A and the 5061A and 5065A after the 105 style oscillator was discontinued.

[time-nuts] HP 3010Axxxxx oscillator
Hi, In the two HP 105B's I recently acquired both had the 10 Mhz 3010A series oscillator which appears to be pin for pin compatible with the HP 10811 series but it has a resistor value listed on the outer case. Trying to research it, the HP 105A/B supplement vaguely said to take a look at the HP 10811 ski. I'm still in the dark about it, so several questions. How good is it compared to the HP 10811? Is it worth the effort as some point to change the outer oven to WarrenS's circuit? There is some mention of using a LM723 regulator circuit. Is it worthwhile to re-work the PS to one with better regulation? And lastly, Rick K might know the answer to this: Why didn't HP bring out the 10 MHz as a "new feature" and call it the HP 105A/B Mod II or something?
