Hello Joe,
At one time I used methylene chloride, a clear liquid, to dissolve epoxy.
Took awhile, but the epoxy did soften up and I could easily chip it out.
I soaked the item in a large covered pickle jar for a couple of days.
The liquid and vapors of the solvent got to the epoxy nicely.
Caveat: This method may also dissolve other electrical components and
you may
have to revert to chipping the epoxy out with a scalpel.
Possibly applying a few drops at a time to the area, instead of the
complete immersion
would be better.
I would look to the Agilent website and do a document search on the end
item: 5316B.
They may have the details, schematics, test specs, etc.

I have an Ovenaire OSC 85-50 10 MHz OCXO that is a frequency reference for a
HP 5316B frequency counter. It oscillates but the output amplitude is about
20 mV.
I would like to try to repair it. It looks like it is sealed with epoxy.
Any suggestions on how to open it other than scraping the epoxy out with a
scalpel?
Also, any circuit diagrams available?
Thanks in advance.
Joe
