It just occured to me that if anyone knew the answer to this, they
would likely be on this list.
I remember that when you put the HP5065A into storage, you were
supposed to unplug a little cable from the Rb cell and wire it up to
an external power supply - does anyone know exactly what this did,
Yes I would believe many know the answer.
Its in the first few pages of the 5065 manual and you can get that at the
several sites free.
Its rb flooding as I recall. I remember the pix.
It explained what it is and what to do. I think there was a recovery
procedure.
But do not recall the details.
One other comment.
I have taken the rb package apart for repair and shared that info.
I was very impressed with the quality and scale of everything.
I speculate 10 years can have problems but I bet it can be made to work
again.

Hi,
Here is a post I made years ago on the subject.
There was a typo and a correction post that changed the resistor value to
5 Ohms, it is corrected here also.
First take a look at the leapsecond.com website. Click on various lab
reports and then rb-cells.
You will see pictures of rubidium
