Chris,
This hi res pic might help you. I modified my Z3816A to improve the
performance. I changed the grounding and added a few extra capacitors.
This pic is close to the start so very few changes.

Peter,
Thanks very much for sending that. The
Hi Chris
I've got some results to hand for three samples of the fluke.l
MTI-260-0624-C oscillator, if that's the one you mean?, and for 5 MHz output
they all
require an EFC input on pin 1 between 2.8 and 3.1 Volts.
That's with a 12 Volt supply on pin 5, which gives approx 6 Volts out on
Chris,
The Z3816 has a few design short comings. In the circuit board pic the MTI
oscillator circuit board grounding is improved. Subsequently I opened and
modified the oven internally and added an extra oven feedthrough pin. The
issue is the oven heater current modulates the ground pin
Chris,
You will have to do a little google searching, or even contact MTI directly,
but the suffixes in the part #'s can mean anything and
without the correct spec sheet you have no idea what the EFC range is, or even
the direction. There is no rhyme or reason to the
suffix numbers (that I can
Hi Chris,
Ideally, I would like to find another Z3816, as this would provide a
spare as well as visual id of damaged parts to allow repair, but haven't
seen any for sale recently.
