Does anyone have suggestions for a good place to get an HP 5071A Cesium Clock repaired? It says 'Low Cs signal' in the error log. Lawrence Simpson UHU Technologies LLC 972-905-0437 x103

Hi The usual “best guess” is that the tube has reached end of life. The answer is to send it back to Beverly MA. They will replace the tube and re-adjust the device to work with that tube. The process involves getting a “shipping kit” from them. The device goes back in that box and does so as hazmat via FedEx. Entering a package like that into the FedEx system involves a person with special training doing the entry. (At least that was the case when I last sent one back). Needless to say it’s a hassle. Cost typically has been 40 to 50% of the price of a new device. It was ~40K a decade ago. If the “new price” is now $95K, it may well be up to around $50K by now. Needless to say, that’s a lot ….
