Bert: Interesting. I, too, have a couple of the HP 10811 oven-oscillators sitting on the shelf for several years, ....waiting for a project. I want to 'discipline' them, but really do not know how.
Could you kindly mark up the HP 10811 schematic and/or please tell me what to cut, ... what to jumper??? Thanks a lot!
