Adrian Pure speculation from a shade tree time-nut: As my tube became weaker the unit became heat sensitive and would stay locked if I keep the room cooler. It also did better on battery power vs the internal supply. I attributed this to signal to noise level changing as the the tube aged. Stanley

When powered on, it locks properly after some 10 minutes and keeps running until it jumps off by about +1E-7. That is, the 10 MHz output then reads 10,000,001 Hz, and the red alarm light is on. When I tried it yesterday again, it worked for about 2 hours before the shift appeared. Oddly enough, the green 'Locked' light was still on. This happens every 2...20 hours. Any ideas what could cause that failure?
