HP 10811 update

Hello to the group. Numbers of threads running on the HP 10811. Mine is 45
Hz low. The oven is most likely ok. I did get the can open per the various
other threads and the web pix. Started testing the circuits and have found
that the regulator for the oscillator isn't. Its supposed to produce 5.7V
and is at 5.27V thats pretty significant. The transistor looks like a
shorted collector base junction. Though I do not have it out of circuit
yet. Its Q4 a 2n6429. What interesting about this transistor is its beta at
1 ma is 500 min and max is 1300. Its not a darlington. Thats pretty
amazing. I am looking through my xsistors to find something close. May just
through a 2n3904 in for a quick test. Its beta is nothing like the 6429.
But it would help to prove/disprove the point that the low V may be
offsetting the oscillator I hope.
Will also embed a K thermal couple to verify the oven really is in the
80-84C region.
Regards
Paul.

Hi

The regulator should be fixed, and the OCXO will work better with it repaired. That said, shifting the regulated voltage from 5.7 to 5.27 volts should not shift that oscillator 45 Hz.

Well learned quite a bit Q4 does have an issue. Further there is a reason
it has such high Beta. Its must deliver 30 ma to the oscillator and buffer.
I was quite surprised by this current level. I was  guessing the oscillator
was a few mils and the buffer maybe 8.
The 2n3904 simply does not cut it. Need to do some digging in the ole
transistors.

Paul.

I find it hard to believe that NTE spec the 123AP to replace a transistor
with min beta of 500...

This is quite entertaining:

http://www.vetco.net/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=1856

Look at the parts it's supposed to replace.

(Nothing against Vetco - they are a great source of NTE components and are
local to me.  They are just quoting what NTE claim.)

I can't believe you found the transistor. When I pulled it out last night,
its actually a MPSA18!!! I had not had time to look it up but figured it
was a ebay leftover hunt. :-)
At that price I may order 20 of them. Like the gain.
