Re: The James Knights Co. oscillator, 4.0 kc
I had to see the resonator and I found a surprise. A previous owner has replaced the original innards with a 10'000 kc/s XTAL oscillator, so he got an ovenised XO. Well, I might try crystal grinding to put it on 30m HAM band. I did measure once a 10 MHz output, but discarded it as noise and never appeared again in later tests, probably due to loose contacts inside the tube.
The curiosity remains on which device used a 4 kc OXO in 1957.
Thanks for reading and contributing!
