I was able to get all 5 of these EG&G Rubidium Frequency Standards running by replacing the caps as another member found. They have a large heatsink on them, no fins, and are running at 43C. Is that too hot? Should I bolt them down to a larger heatsink? They consume a little over 9w after they lock, about double that while warming up.
The only other issue I see is that the 8bit frequency setting doesn’t allow me to set the frequency closer than 5E-11. I don’t know if this is good for these units and RFS in general or not. Thanks.

John Miles, Gilbert, Mark Sims, Bob, etc, etc have been a lot of help and have added a lot of enjoyment to my hobby.
