I work with a guy who worked there for years as a CE. He still has contacts; 
it's a real long shot, but I'll give it a shot.

I wish Symmetricom would release source to the old TrueTime / Datum products... 
But I'm sure most of that source code has been lost 
/ thrown away. 

For instance, the older network time servers are much cooler to me than the new 
models. The old stuff was custom designed and 
specifically written / tweaked by hand. The newer time servers are just 
off-the-shelf single board computers, a GPS module, and then 
*maybe* a custom oscillator module.... Then they just run on a *nix OS with 
some small custom scripts to do the timing and automate 
setup... Just not the same...
