I've repaired many "hermetically" sealed oscillators by unsoldering the can with a torch. It works out just fine. You first make sure that you can hold the can in something stationary...I use a vise.. and that you have a good handle on the base, take the torch and apply it for a couple of seconds, and zip it comes apart. None the worse for the wear. -Chuck Harris _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
