I think the Rb version went in a taller case? As for the reboot, probably depends on where you are probing :-) My proto unit from 1996 is still happily ticking along on my bench in the lab with an MTI oven that still has tuning range.

OK so the pinout vaguely matches, the TS-2100 is *very* twitchy on the alarm circuits, even a 1Mohm scope (well, it's 1M in theory, cheap Rigol[1]) tripped it to reboot a few times. But where in the world are you supposed to *put* the darn LPRO oscillator, it's too tall to fit above the board, and there doesn't look to be enough room between the back of the front panel and the main board. I'm also not sure about the power supply thing, seeing only the single post to time-nuts about it. I'd love photos, but I'd assume that most people that have one it sits in a rack running. Thanks, Julien 1: Actually 'tis one of the 50Mhz units "hacked" to 100Mhz operation, a very nice Tek 11k analog scope was reserved, but the seller appears to not want my business going silent after several prods. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
