That's one of the remaining puzzles on my unit. It appears that one of the thermistors on my unit has drifted badly and the RF cavity (and therefore the resonance cell) are running about 20C colder than they should. My next round of testing will investigate that. That would indeed help to keep the Rb-85 and Rb-87 peaks misaligned, with weak return signal as result. I tested the temperature early in my investigations. Raising or lowering the temperature reduced the maximum amplitude of the error signal so I left it alone. But the current temperature of 56C seemed suspiciously low. The correct temperature isn't stated in the manual. I was finally able to find the data for the thermistor and the current hot resistance should correlate to a temperature of ~72C which seems much more reasonable. So I'm going to boost the temperature to that level and then go hunting for a signal. The test point on the A5 board shows that 155 Hz resonance detector modulation is within spec. The A6 filter-amplifier board test points show the system attempting (and failing) to detect 155 Hz and 310 Hz resonance signals coming back from the photocell. The manual says that the A7 RF pre-driver board (the x14 multiplier) should be supplying 70 MHz at +13 dBm to the SRD driver inside the physics package.

The photodetector should detect the lamp intensity as a DC component. The modulation doesn't cut out much of the light, so the 155 Hz and 310 Hz is there only when things are properly aligned. The tricky part is that not only the frequency needs to be aligned, but also the temperature of the lamp with the temperature of the filter and resonance cell. Check the oven settings on it. The temperature alignment is needed to make the optical pumping align up and work well, if you don't too little pumping is achieved, and too few atomis is in the right state to later alter state with your applied signal and hence gives a much weaker signal. Any other comments on how to get this box working again? Check the return signal yourself. It could be that you have the 155 Hz and 310 Hz, but you need to re-align the phase of the synchronous detector, but this only comes after getting the 70 MHz operating again.

Re: [time-nuts] repairing General Technology (Tracor) 304-B rubidium standard
Hi Keep in mind that the Tracor's came out before the Teflon coated bulbs. Without the Teflon, the Rb will combine with the glass of the bulb. The ones I have seen slowly turn a black. As they darken, the light transmission drops enough to stop the standard. Since it's a chemical reaction, there is no simple way to reverse it.

[time-nuts] repairing General Technology (Tracor) 304-B rubidium standard
Stewart, Tracor units use a high voltage pulse to start the lamp. You should be able to hear the relay that drives the pulse clicking around every 10 seconds or so until the lamp lights up. Tracor lamp failures are not rejuvinatable (is that really a word). However I have in the past installed Efratom lamps into some 304D units.
