As the project has now stalled I figured I'd send another update on my
FRK with the current state.
The FRT:
Although the replacement cap I'd picked up (KEMET PEH169MD4470QB2) was
perfect in two dimensions plus the mounting, it turned out to be way to
tall. I'll pick up a smaller option at
still waiting on some safer probe options.

I did confirm the heater is working, and was getting above 90c when I
poked a thermocouple at it just after power-off.

I picked up an Efratom FRT a while ago, and it finally arrived the other
day, sadly it doesn't lock.
The oscillator inside is an older Efratom FRK, and it's also clear
someone had been inside already, although it does appear to be complete.
The FRK manual does include a key description I

Haven't seen any discussion about this on-list, but the PL500 is an
easily (well, in normal times) available VCXO control chip, for those
who might want to make their own

I've pondered if IRIG modulated on 10MHz would make enough sense to
work, or if the modulation would end up degrading the 10MHz enough to no
longer be a good

For an upcoming (very time-nutty, and hopefully to be shared soon)
project I need to finally do some frequency datalogging.
I've had a Stanford SR620 sitting around, and plugged it in to a handy
GPIB adapter (*not* a major commercial one, one of the community ones).
While I can get it to talk

I keep forgetting to do a thread about this.
I recently (er, perhaps a year ago) picked up a Microlab unit, and was
very disappointed, notably the output simply isn't built to handle being
plugged into units that provide antenna power, with each port ending up
having a DC path to ground (at 200

Slightly edited down from my blog, if you want the full thing with
photos see:

I've mentioned a bunch of times on the time-nuts list that I'm quite
fond of the Spectracom 8140 system for frequency distribution. For those
not familiar with it, it's

The 74S140 (dual 4-input NAND) is the classic TI TTL 50-ohm driver.
They're still available in DIP & SOIC.
I'm currently waiting on some boards to arrive so I can try SN74LVC1G17
as a more modern replacement that's much cheaper and smaller.
Once I've proven it I'll do a separate thread to the

Although far more focused on the position aspects this is a good read
that I don't recall coming up on this list before.

Reminds me a little of the crazy Eidophor projectors.
"An Eidophor was a television projector used to create theater-sized
images. The name Eidophor is derived from the Greek word-roots ‘eido’
and ‘phor’ meaning 'image' and 'bearer' (carrier). Its basic technology
