Hi Ulf
Also you noted the bulb had the thermionic device, That's used for
remigrating the Rb into the reservoir there is a procedure for doing it in the
manuals on the web.
It can take up to a week to draw all the Rb back into the reservoir after long
inactivity.Just make sure you use a
Totally agree with Scott.
On the lamp thats good it lights.
If you search older threads on Time-nuts you will see that on the FRS
rubidiums you can heat the lamp with a heat gun and re-migrate the RB off
of the glass. It makes them re-usable and extends the life very nicely.
I do not suggest doing

Picked up a scrapped 5065A tonight.
It was an early unit but a later one than the one I amtrying to fix.
The XO was gone. From what I could see, it had beena 10811 type with adapter
since there was no 115V wiring.
The RV Cavity was loose and I think that what was in this unit mayhave been a
rep
