ubject: Re: [time-nuts] 5061a with cold tube I foud missing , power at beam tube ionizer . was a diode open , now ion pump current is high . last calibration was made 20 tears ago , maybe this one was not operating for long time , due to a fault . Now I will try to apply 3500 volt as the manual .

sorry for mistake , is 5061A I have 5061a otion 3 - 4 I do not have beam current and 2nd arm . ion pump current very low . the tube is cold , it should be warm or not ? CS oven value is correct . someone already had experience ? the 5mhz is correct very close to exatlly frequenzy. all help are
