Hello,
now that my wife flies off to Germany for business, the good season
resumes at Tam H.Q.
My HP 53310A has the OXCO. Sadly, it blew up when I connected it to
230VAC for the first time, with the unit since always throwing a lesser
self test fail.
I bought the schematics from Artek, only to see that the OXCO unit is
not in there. Anyone have the schematics on hand, or know where to buy
them? I'll gladly pay Artek some extra cash - if only, because that
would confirm that he is still alive and should PLEASE PLEASE return my
Systron Donner manual
