Good news - my purchase arrived quickly, contains an FE5660A 10MHz oscillator and shows both the internal standard lock light and the internal reference lock light within a few minutes. It runs from 13.8 volts and takes about 1.2A.
The f1 and f2 lock lights don't come on, but that's not a big issue. I may just rewire those outputs as a distribution amplifier in any case.
