Slightly off-topic, as this is a general repair question. But it's a TIC. I'm repairing a 5275A timer (all-discreet count logic to 100MHz, neon bulb display, a most amazing bcd to decimal decoder made from neons and LDRs, 1-2-2-4 decade counters ..) and the current problem is a 2n1038-2 germanium T05 transistor in the power supply.
It's mounted in an aluminium bush which is then isolated from the chassis. I don't think the bush is also a collet but I can't see how to remove the transistor. It resists ungentle pushing .. should I push it with a hammer ? Or is there a kinder way ? (I'm hoping to eventually put this into a system with a 101A oscillator and a 9815A calculator to measure the ADEV of a Boule electric pendulum clock). _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
