yet another reason not to buy a CS clock. What kind of self-destructive bs

Of course, you'd hear the same thing if you asked the modern-day HP if

to
develop a reconditioning process, at least before Datum started selling
replacement tubes.
FWIW:
Wait a minute. Datum owns Symmetricom which bought HP/Agilent's
CBT production line and admits that their tubes were never as
good as HP/Agilent's tubes. The 5071, as opposed to the 5061, has
a ROM with a password in the CBT so that only OEM tubes will work.
The password consists of a poem written by Len Cutler. The poem is
copyrighted so that it would be illegal for a competitor to simply
reproduce it, according to Len.
