I had searched for 5MHz ocxo which is why I didn't see the ones you
found. Having said that the result is slightly frustrating as, although
there are a few 5MHz ocxo's in the list none will fit the case which is
only 1U
As for repairing the original, go for it. You can't make it any
worse. I would use a utility knife to scrape away as much solder as
possible but don't use the sharp edge of the blade, use the back of
the sharp edge so that it cuts more like a cutter on a lathe or
milling machine. Once you've got the excess out of the road, my tool
of choice is a micro-torch. Pre-heating with a heat gun might be a
good idea, too. If you search the archives you'll find more ideas on
opening these things.
Thanks I'll have a look
