I think the click was probably made loud intentionally. It would make
it easier to set the clock accurately to within a fraction of a second.
It would also make it quite evident if two clocks were out of sync.

Wow Mark thats not what I would have expected from the Patek. But then I
never had one. Remember "You never own a Patek it just goes from generation
to generation". At least thats what the ad says. So imagine someone in your
family will be wearing the 5065 on there wrist one day.

No problem, stick a tiny CPU + audio amp in the corner of the box that
generates an anti-phase noise canceling signal,
That said, I never start the Patek-Philippe clock in my HP 5065A rubidium since
it ticks loud enough to be heard on the next planet.

Hi
Modern tantalum caps get a bad rap. When you dig into the data, most of it
relates to
the “bad old tantalums”. What you have in these devices *are* the “bad old
tantalums”.
When they go, they can make both a massive mess and a real stink.
The idea of keeping things “as built” in vintage g
Got a 113BR clock many years ago because it looked like the clock in the
Smithsonian. Used a 103 precision OCXO for the source.
It is noisy. That's part of why it has a heavy metal case. I expect that
a rebuilt stepping motor might have been quieter. I kept it in a larger
wooden box lined with R19
Looks like you have great advice. But I will add if the tantalums show the
corrosion do not fire it up. Unless you like smoke and other damage. A good
way to extend the time you will spend getting it going and cleaning up the
acid all over everything. Lots-O-fun.
Good luck and I have always heard t
Hiya,
My thanks for the various replies including to Luciano for the 115BR
manual and Chuck for the timely advice about old caps!
I'll take a put at summarising the various replies and my own
observations now I've the 115BR Manual and the 115CR unit itself - any
errors in same mine alone;
