Re: [time-nuts] SR620 Problem
how fare are you familiar with electronic equipment troubleshooting? could you find components, test points if somebody would ask you for that? do you have some electronic test equipment e.g. multimeter, oscilloscope? --last year I helped somebody to fix one HP high-frequency generator just per e-mail back and fort and he was able to fix the equipment, if you are interested let me know Regards Alex On 8/29/2016 4:41 PM, Don@True-Cal wrote: Sure, my original post ask for anyone in the US as I live in Springfield Missouri but I will be happy to ship anywhere in the states.

Re: [time-nuts] SR620 Problem
Sorry if this is a repeat but not showing up in my sent mail. Changed the list address slightly. Email clients lie all the time. When there is a question of whether a mail to the list was distributed, it is very useful to go to the list web page (address is at the bottom of every list message), select the list archive, and see if the message is in the archive. If it is, it was distributed, whether or not you can find your copy of the sent or received message. This simple step can very often save one from needlessly re-sending a message that everyone else already received.
