Finally the Rb standard arrived and I had the time to have a look at it. What a poor thing
It really makes me sad to see it in such shape.
But first the good news: It is an option 3 device. That means it has the clock option and a backup battery (or rather had, because the battery has spilled it innards). It also has the 10811-60109 OCXO fitted. And as an added bonus it was with Agilent in 2011 and got calibrated.
Now the bad: On the ouside, the device looks like it has been exposed to the elements (maybe disposed and saved from the dumpster).
And the ugly: On the inside I was greeted with a bag of miscellany labeled "nuts and screws" (and for a bonus leaky caps, that were pulled out). Someone already tried to repair it and gave up. One board has new caps the rest is leaking. The lamp is disconnected and cables are flying all over the place
.
So lets start the fun, grab the isopropyl and get cracking. I will remove the corpse of the battery first and then check out the Rb lamp first to see if it is broken. Fingers crossed...
I will start a seperate thread over in the repair section soon to document my efforts.
@Corby: Attached you will find a picture with the serial number of the poor fella.
