As I have just bought a Racal 9475 Rubidium and it has problems
Is there any stock faults ?
What is the life of the rubidium standard?
The Racal manual for this only covers the support stuff. Your problem
is almost certainly with the Rb module; these were some variety of FRK,
either FRK-L or -H. These are repairable without much difficulty, but
obviously you will need the manual for it. In the FRK there is a
crystal that will have aged, and a free running audio oscillator around
8 kHz in the servo unit that may well need attention. I did fix mine
some ten or more years ago and since then it has worked when needed. I
wouldn't worry about the lamp yet before checking the rest of it.
