A tant melted on one of my KS-246361 boxes (I guess they're a similar age, possibly even the same source). The only one so far to have trouble. It failed in such a way that it continued to smoke and load up the power supply, The current drawn from the no-name laptop power supply was still well wit

We were not measuring frequency but clock offset. The frequency offset was estimated from the daily clock measurements. If I remember correctly we got .1 uS accuracy. We had several Rubidium, Cesium and later a H-maser frequency standards and we kept continuous recordings (strip charts) of the

As I mentioned in the another thread this week. You can indeed replace the failed voltage with just another inverter. Mine has run this way for 10 years. Mine was a 5 by the way. If it was one side of the +/-15 I would say you want to replace both. The entire switcher can be replaced with supplies
