Nevermind.
I went back and looked again. The screws are a bit odd and sloppy
tolerences, but a 1/16 inch allen wrench seems to work. I guess my
memory from a couple years back was a bit off.

No. I have one and it's very appropriate for a piece of Time-Nut
equipment. They're Allen screws. :-)

They look like Torx Screws. Not so?

Is that an aluminum plate or the top side of a PCB used as a heat sink?
To me, the first picture looks green/FR4 around the edges. (and a
stripe on
the left)
Yes, that is a portion of the board I described in an earlier
message. The board is thick fiberglass plated heavily on both the top
and bottom. The board in the picture has been cut both above and
below the 5680A. The plating ended about where the lower cut is, but
the plating continued farther above the top of the unit in the
picture. My earlier message gave the dimensions.
One minor note about this board. The screws holding the 5680 to the
borad were an unusual type. I can't remember, I think they may have
been a square drive. They were difficult to remove as I had no proper
tool to unscrew them. I think I made something from steel rod to
start them losening.
